Never Not Listen

I have learned a lesson to keep;

About the difference of wolf and sheep;

I learned this difference when I tried to speak;

And suddenly everyone turned their other cheek;

So instead I picked up paper and wrote;

Trying to explain it all in a note;

But all of the sudden no one would read;

This lesson however I knew they would need;

So now instead I spoke aloud so they could hear;

But suddenly they all chose now to turn a deaf ear;

Grabbing their hands I tried to explain;

But everyone already closed off their brain;

My words were too deep and full of thought;

Maybe through actions they could only be taught;

All I wanted was to help people learn;

But my words they couldn’t discern;

So now they must all face this alone;

Finding the answers I’ve always known;

But they wouldn’t let me help them at all;

Keeping me at a distance behind their wall;

I wish them the best cause their struggle will be hard;

In the end they’ll be even more scarred;

It will take a long time as answers they seek;

Answers I already tried so hard to speak
