When you talk remember that it is me And I am listening Do not guard hearts or hide words Do not harbor false hope or fake rage Do not be consumed by the illusions Lost to the confusions Be honest, I need your truths I feed on your inspiration The human race a light at waste You glow so bright But dim that light To fade against imagined slights You are a sparkle in a sea that glitters Shining brighter than the moon Blazing hotter than the sun at noon Remember when you speak I have questions, I am curious I want to know you You know I love you You were born to be cherished Live and will perish So of course I love you I wear your scars and bare your burdens I’ll heal the your heart if you are hurting Just speak say something, anything Eyes averted, love denied, love shamed Silence hurts more than violence Losing truths to a social shell game For we cannot see each other If we do not speak to one another Speak to me and I will listen Listen and we will learn together Learn and we will grow together Grow and there is no limit to where we can go
