Nobody's Listening

There are times

when it's most important

for me to know

-no one's listening

And other times

it hurts me

to know

No one's listening at all

Often I find

wish to cry aloud

pour out my heart

and have no one hear

But most of the time

I find it's most important

that other's listen

when I say nothing at all
