Us:
There's a lot to me,
A lot I could say about myself;
But I find it better,
To learn about myself from you;
For when I look in the mirror
I see you
And when you look at me
You're looking in the mirror;
We are all different but the same,
And this is why I should prefer to  listen not speak.

Me:
Ideally it should be like this
But alas! This is not the case
The narcissist in me
Cannot be kept shut
He grabs for every conversation
And dreads the art of empathy
His mouth heats up
While on the ears form cobwebs

You:
If two talk , who listens?
But then again
if two listen, who speaks?
Conversation should be give and take
For at least one to gain
So hear me you
Even if you may not agree
Then I'll listen to you
And you can share your view.
Don't judge, learn. Speak out, but still listen.
