Listen Please, listen to my voice, It shouldn't have to be a choice, I say these things to be heard, Not to be ignore word for word. You say you hear my opinion but do you? Listen and understand what I feel and do, You may acknowledge it but do not act, You do nothing to make an impact. I say things to be honest and free, I say things to give an opinion and be me, Don't ask for my view if you'll ignore it, Don't have a go when I shout just a bit. A laugh has several meanings why, Whether it's real or to hide behind a lie, A smile has a hundred words unspoken, Yet a smile like those words can be broken. Listen to my laugh, does it sound fake? Listen to my words, is there a mistake? Just listen because I have done for you, Listen or no noise will be heard soon...

I'm Only Human I'm only human. I may not show it but I do feel, But it does take time to heal, I may not show it but I do hear, Just words bring delight or fear. I may not show it but I can understand, But what I say back is unplanned, I may not show it but I do regret, Just sometimes I don't realise it yet. I show I am angry or really annoyed, But those feelings I wish I could avoid, I show joy, that I can laugh or smile, Just I haven't done those things in a while. I show sadness, my own tears, But I don't do that in front of my peers, I show trust and how I can accept, Just sometimes trust isn't easily kept. I'm only human and I make mistakes, My errors cannot be erased, No use blaming everything on me, I'm only human and that's all I can be. #beginningline

I'm Sorry I'm sorry. For all the things I have said, For the things I've got in your head, For all the things that I have done, For being that certain someone, That someone who goes too far, Who doesn't understand who you are, Not properly anyway about your story, So really and truly I'm sorry. I have been complicated in some ways, Or just manipulative on other days, I haven't been helpful or completely useless, But I haven't been there when you're stressed, Or sad and lonely I haven't shown sympathy, When you were annoyed I could of acted differently, I didn't mean to make it worse and I can't forget, So I'm sorry and I haven't said that properly yet. I have listened just haven't properly focused, On your thoughts and your feelings I haven't noticed, Maybe I'm blind or do not understand, The feelings and my reactions are unplanned, There's so many emotions and so many times, They are shown but it's hard to read the signs, So for the future and for now, I'm sorry but that's all I know how. I haven't been at my worst or at my best, I have just been "eh"... I guess, But I've been difficult that's for sure, My over-reacting and being immature, My sudden outbursts of sadness or anger, I mean over-reacting is never the answer, So for the times when I have done these things, I'm sorry I just get carried away with my feelings. I just don't know what else I could say, Unfortunately I can't change what I do each day, So I'm sorry and I do mean it I really do, And thanks for staying and for being you.
