To Be Heard
Location
I don't want to just be heard
I just want you to feel quiet and alone
When you read the words I'm willing to print
I want the buzzing to cease
your eyebrows to crease
your lips to purse
your mind to be at peace
When you read the words I spew
These are the things that you should do
Sit in your favorite chair (don't worry, I wouldn't judge what you decided to wear)
I Don't want you to think about what so-and-so said last week
Or how it made you feel weak
I want you to forget your troubles
and have some peace of mind while I give you a piece of mine
Because I don't write just to be heard,
I write to be more free than Lynyrd Skynyrds bird
I need to get these things out of me so that I can feel alive
These thoughts up in my head, buzz louder than a bees hive.
I write for your peace and i write for mine
Because this is how I can say to everyone 'No it doesn't bother me. Yes, I feel fine."
