I want people to listen

I want people to open their minds

And see through the eyes

Of others

I want people to listen

To understand

To believe

Not question

Not ignore or refute

I want people to listen

"But it’s not important" "you understand"

Even though you’re not the firsthand

I need people to listen

The pages aren't full of nothing

Why can't you see

You don’t wait or listen

I need people to listen

They think they know

But I’m trying to show

What I need but its hard

When people just disregard

What I’m saying

 I need people to listen 

And want to understand

I feel alone trying to help myself

There’re people who want to help but not enough to listen

To except that they don’t always know what’s best or right

But maybe they would if they were to listen

To hear what I need. 

To follow through with what I ask them to do

Cause it’s hard to speak up the full truth

Hard to say everything out load

That’s why they just need to listen

To take my word

To believe. 

Only I know what I want

Only I know what I need 

So you have to just have to believe
