Description
Stop trying
To be the loudest voice
In the room
You talk enough
For two people
When you should listen
For yourself
Not every dirty punch line
Should be said aloud
There's so much
Being communicated
In the silent glance
That you miss
While you speak
You neglected
Shared confidences before
And look where it got you
You're back to yelling
For attention
Shouting
For acknowledgment
While the quiet ones
Are heard
For their words
I know
That you have friends
Who would gladly say
What you need to hear
Who are waiting
To tell you
How special you are
You just can't hear them
Over the shrillness
Of your screaming
