I listened to understand you

Things that people say.
Stories of you coming out that
Persons mouth with no shame
Just 50 shades of Hate
I didn't bother to listen because
That shii wasn't my business
No matter how much I was tempted
To believe all that I denied
That access because I wasn't granted the
Right password to those files.
I must say those stories were interesting but
The pain I saw in your dead eyes
Told me a lot
They don't know your past neither your future,
I don't judge.
Once we spoke I must say you are quite a
Character, then the time came you actually opened
Up to me, the pain, rejection, your very own reflection
I understood and that's when I saw all that shit
They spoke about you was true
But they didn't know all the reasons behind it
I gave you a little speech, yes I'm known for being
A motivational speaker and there was one thing
Which I said and kinda liked
It goes; "You came to this world alone, you going to
Do you alone and your going to screw up a few alone
Not to mention all the shii you've been through
Was not my business till you opened up to me
With trust that when I made it my business, I'm not
Going to hold your hand so I suggest you lead
Yourself and don't make anyone's business yours"
I listened to understand you
I didn't listen to interrogate you.
