Are you listening,
Because I found the key and it is glistening,
Those words, those phrases, those sentences you never hear,
Because its something inside of you that often purses me called fear,

Thinking a lot but not saying a word,
Some of the greatest thoughts and you just want them heard,
You ponder and think and think ponder,
Each time every thought becomes fonder,

But they hear your silence and take it as a threat,
Be strong, smile because they still haven"t heard you yet,
So now they sit there in confusion,
Because in their mind, they are creating this closed in illusion,

So naturally, they get upset,
And start to throw words that they will soon regret,
But don't take it the wrong way its not their fault.
For they can not hear themselves, so they lose by default,

All you have to do is open that door,
Embrace your fears, opening up to so much more,
Release your thoughts with no discussion,
And listen to yourself, let it play like a percussion,

These words, these phrases, these sentences hold so much power,
But truly listening requires silence which is so much louder,
so can you hear me, no really, can you hear me?
Because I will confidently speak my mind, theses words no longer scare me.
