Shut Your Trap!

A silent one

I like to listen

Really truly wholly listen.

To engage with the person

Sitting across

Form a human connect

I speak less

Not because I have nothing to say

But because

Mindless conversations

Ring hollow in my ears.

In a world full of talkers, I listen.

But one day

I'll speak in hope of change.

And my words,

They will be simple.
