Two ears and one mouth -
Encouraging one to listen twice as much
As they speak.
To learn the depths of another -
And to not repeat.
You see -
Some like to hear all sorts of sounds,
While others only care to hear their own.
You may not realize,
Until their words are all that fill your head -
With an intent to control
And change the person you once were.
I wonder if I shall say something more -
Or remain content with my ability to listen,
And hope that my actions will help them learn.

And change the person you once were.
I wonder if I shall say something more -
Or remain content with my ability to listen,
And hope that my actions will help them learn.
