LISTEN!

It only happens when I'm down,
Only when I wear this frown,
The words will flow and come and go,
Falling from my lips, very slow, so....

Listen when I'm crying out,
When I cry, when I pout,
It's then you'll hear me, loud and clear,
It's then you're inside, oh so near.

Words pour right out, with all that's true,
They make no sense, ah, yes they do.
Look at me, and listen close,
It's at this time, I need that most.

It pours right out, I sound insane,
All the heartache, all the strain.
I look at me, I look at them,
I sit around here and wonder when...

When will the time, stop for me,
When will I get, my chance to see,
My perfect smile, my faithful friend,
May I never have, to write again.
