Listening

 I dance and sing with a smile on my face

I listen and I understand

I make people feel that they can trust me

I always lend a helping hand

They confide in me, their darkest secrets

For I don't gossip, I'll never spill

When they feel like they'll explode, if they keep it in

I help them keep the explosion still

I listen, I don't judge or advise

Everyday problems, which are common, yet life changing

I help them loosen the hold of the tide

I help them relive the sting

They trust me, they like me

But sometimes, listening is hard

Because being there for someone is hard

When you want someone to listen to you
