A Poem by living lavender
"

behind the wheel subconscious

"
it is believed
that when you talk
no one will listen
they wont
unless you say something
they want to hear

i conceive
there are those
who let you talk
not to listen
but
in fear of one day
being asked to speak

Featured Review

The last part of the poem is thought provoking. Many times it feels like people either feel unheard or are terrified of being heard. And it's sadly true that most of the time people only listen to what they want to hear. Humanity always wants to circle back to itself, with our own egos often getting in the way of honestly connecting with other. If we're not open to truly listen, what's the point of speaking? And often when our words are heard, judgement follows, for better or worse. That definitely could scare someone into the submission of silence.

Nice poem, and keep on writing :)

that makes such sense...fearful that they will be asked to speak....opposite from those who pretend to listen but are really just formulating what they want to say next.

no one hearing a word.
