Listen to me...
You see what you want to see, acknowledging my despair with convenience rather than concern.
Listening with distraction of thoughts of what to do and errands to run, rather than active listening.
Dismissing my feelings and emotions as irrelevant for your attention.
Self absorbed in your own needs and wants that you forget the sun doesn’t just rise and set on you.
Open your eyes today and see... truly see the people that are around you, because if they matter take notice...
For there may not be anyone there to notice tomorrow.
Listening with distraction of thoughts of what to do and errands to run, rather than active listening.
Dismissing my feelings and emotions as irrelevant for your attention.
Self absorbed in your own needs and wants that you forget the sun doesn’t just rise and set on you.
Open your eyes today and see... truly see the people that are around you, because if they matter take notice...
For there may not be anyone there to notice tomorrow.

Author's Note
We’ve become so self absorbed in what we need and want that we don’t think about what others may need from us. Do you notice and recognize the needs and wants of your loved ones?
