Open my ears

With senses dulled like no other
Gates of music rusted shut by tears  
When the oil flows then party too loud;  
until the next rain shuts me down  
 
Untrained and clumsy  
Without a dream to motivate and commit  
Humanity screamed too loud;
left me weak and bleeding  
 
So bad I would be learning  
Too wild for just anyone  
Only a prince could bust a wall  
Ego already has too many issues  
to get left out of the conversation again  
 
I don't know enough to have anything to say  
but your words could start my theatre  
So please jump up on my stage  
and maybe you'll get a fresh idea  
even if you don't get heard  
 
If you speak I might hear  
If you make me listen we'll both learn  
I could hear without learning even if I'm trying  
I feel I could empathize but might not really understand  
Pigs trampled my pearls and tore me up  
Help me repair the equation  
so I can listen more  
and bluster less
