All Ears
She deals with all her pain alone.
The curse of a great listener.
No one hears her when she speaks.
She stopped.
No one noticed.
They were too busy talking.

Author's Note
My photo of a painting by Calvin Burnett, he was a black American artist. Not so well known but should be. I found it in a thrift store and almost passed out. I knew immediately who made it. I felt like I stole something as I left the store.

Hi Nik
That find must have been a double take. Looking closer to be sure
you are seeing what you think it is. What a feeling that must have been.
The poem is great - also looks like they are talking to each other in it as well. LOL

Sometimes our words do fall on deaf ears. If we don't speak with confidence, no one will hear us.
Nicely done (and glad you found a treasure too).
