To Be Understood
Location
The one common factor
I've seen in relationships shared between people
Parents and children
Married and engaged couples
Roommates and best friends
Colleagues and peers
The one common factor
That tears at the seams of their bond is
Communication
Humankind, at its core
Strive for attention, love
But most of all we strive to be understood
To have our aspirations appreciated
To have our accomplishments acknowledged
And to have our ailments approached
With kindness and compassion
For me, it's through the concept
Of synpases and neurons
Through the ideas
Of Festinger and Zimbardo
Through the combined efforts
Of sociologists and psychologists
That will bring me to the answers I crave
And perhaps with that
I can take at least one step forward
To establish why and how we
Communicate
And bring a way for us
To be understood
