If You Would Just Listen
If people only realized this is as loud as I can be
I won't bray like a donkey just so you can hear me.
Just because I'm not boisterous and annoying
Dosen't mean I'm also always boring.
I like my volume where it's at
Yet I'm not skiddish like a stray cat.
Please talk to me normally
You don't have to watch your steps orderly.
I have important things to say too
My life doesn't revolve around this zoo.
My voice can in fact leave my house
Even though it squeaks like a mouse.
