listen.
Listen,
Do that for me,
Listen,
I'm tired of chains.
Listen,
My mind is ablaze,
Listen,
And watch me burn.
Listen,
My hands are cold,
Listen,
Pride gnaws my bones,
Listen,
Do that for me,
Listen,
Stop holding me back,
Listen,
My heart is stone,
Listen,
I'm on the edge.
Listen,
I should've known,
Listen,
We make mistakes,
Listen,
We lose and win.
Listen,
Enough’s enough,
Listen,
Just let me be.
Listen,
I might never ask,
Listen,
You might never care,
Listen,
Whatever comes,
Listen,
I did my best.
The lament of the unlistened to... I hear you.
Upon the first read, I thought, yes... our best is all we have to give. Read the second time... only every other stanza. You have rhythm, and the message is clearer to read. The third time, I tried it with odd numbered lines only... it wasn't the same. ❤️😁🙏✨
