The Silent Listener

Everyone needs to be heard At least once. Everyone needs to say their mind At least once. Everyone needs to stop and listen At least once. Everyone needs to sit in silence At least once.

You're heard All the time. You say what comes to mind All the time. She sits in front of you All the time. She always listens And never says a word.

What about her? What about the silent listener? She has problems. She has feelings. You never listen. You're never silent. But she wishes to be heard At least once.

So why? Why don't you listen to her?
