Unheard

I can't help but feel like a voice unheard
Like I'm only meant to listen, advise, and agree

My sentences are started but never fully uttered
I'm abruptly cut off, reduced to an attentive devotee

How do I excuse it when it's an event reoccurred?
When one isn't listened to, you can't help but feel defeat

I smile, laugh and reword, trying to be reheard
But it's as if what I say they barely acknowledge before they proceed

With their own thoughts, lives and needs while I'm ignored
Seemingly existing only to hear them, and boost their self esteem

I wonder if they listen to me just to plan their next words?
Or if they truly are trying and wanting to hear me?

Loved ones, I want you to come to me always, let that be on record
I just wish I was better recognized and seen

I know the rhyming wasn't perfect but well I wasn't trying to rhyme perfectly lol.

This has just been like a long time of frustration that I've been trying to get out and wasn't really able to until after talking to and seeing two of the people who have been causing my frustration that I haven't seen in awhile.

It sucks when you feel like no one really hears you. If it was just one person you could push it aside as just that person, and say well you don't need them in your life.

But when it's more than one person ... and then you don't wanna confront anyone, let alone EVERYONE, but at the same time you just hurt so much, feeling like nobody really fully listens or wants to listen, and that what you have to say isn't as important as what they have to and just....

Sigh

I dunno

Khayr In Shaa Allah.
