Listen!

Can you hear me!?

Cause I'm calling your name.

Trying to rise

To follow the footsteps of a leader

But I keep going back.

Am I even a voice to you?

No. Yes?

Its funny how you speak

And I hear the words out your mouth

But I speak. you look away

Its me right?

Am I changing?

So why me change again.

I think.

Will you listen?

When I talk

will you respond?

Or will you just look away?

Look away like you always do.

Not wanting to hear the truth

But get mad when I lie.

What do you want?

What do you want!?

Nothing?

Then why not listen.

Why be mad?

What are you even mad at.

Mad is just a useless emotion

A way to get attention

But youll never be perfection.

So why be mad

She hurt me. He hurt me.

But you walk around.

Your alive right?

So why waste your hours hurting others.

Trying to turn a peacefully person.

Make them mad

Create conflict

Destroy lives

But the cycle keeps going.

Why?

Because your mad at the world?

A person hurts

Then heals they get happy

Then sad again.

So they think

Why not make her sad too.

So now we have two sad people

Now five

Maybe ten.

Why cant the numbers of madness stop.

Instead of increasing madness

Decrease deaths.

Lower the sadness

Minimize the hurt.

Help them instead of hurting them.

So I ask again.

Can you hear me?
