Wanting To Be Heard

People like talking about themselves the most

They want to be the host whose making the toast

For others to listen and remain seated

Until it is their own conversation they have completed

Therefore I am not used to having one's honest attention

Someone who wants to achieve extensive comprehension

Someone who is not just waiting for their turn

Because discussing their own ideas is what they truly yearn

So I get nervous when someone listens sincerely

When they try to understand me clearly

When they absorb everything I share

I get nervous because that is rare

It is uncommon for someone to be genuinely captivated

By my thoughts translated in the words I stated

So a deep conversation with me requires cooperation

Because I always look for reassurance and confirmation

To make sure you truly want to discover my mind

And it is not your time I waste and leave behind

I wish to articulate my thoughts for others to hear

But into nothingness they often disappear

They vanish out of sight

Because I do not turn on my own spotlight

Forcing someone to listen I never will

But just like everyone else, I want to be heard still
