I am always talking
Words adorned or tattered
They say it is because I wasn’t heard
When it really mattered
But maybe just maybe
I talk so I can reach out
To anyone who might struggle
Feeling a little left out
Or I talk to just make sure
You know how I feel
Because I know it matters
It can be a big deal
If I long to be loved
Maybe You want it too
If I long to be acknowledged
Maybe You want it too
I talk so I can take away
The hesitation to share
Feel a little exposed
It is okay to care
So agreed that I am broken
Demented in a way
But indulge me just a little
And talk to me today
Elusive Silence
