A Barrier Meant To Be Broken

Blinding Pride

What is it that I've done to you?
Why won't you let me know?
Instead, all I see are your cold eyes. 
And that attitude that glows.

If I did something wrong, why won't you say it?
I told you before, if you do not tell, I will not know. 
Yet here we are, you look down at me.

Part of me does not want to care.
Another wants to know.
I want to know so I can fix it. 
So tell me, let me know.

However, I know that you are prideful.
That's why you look down at me in the first place. 
You think I want to be better than you, 
The truth is, I'm not.

We are both human beings.
Everyone makes mistakes. 
I do my best to be honest.

What is that I've done to you?
Speak, I will listen. 
Is it because they come to me instead of you?
Fear of being judged, a fear understood.

When you think about it...
Maybe, your fear is telling you, 
That if you judge others, they feel the same.

I've made it clear.
I do not judge.
If anything, I want to understand. 
Which is why they come to me instead of you.

But that does not have to be the case.
You have leadership in your eyes.
The only problem is,
Your pride is twice as intense.

So put down your pride,
Talk to me.
What did I do?

Have someone stand with you, 
That way I can figure out your message.
Our language barrier is thick.
And that does not mean, I want it thicker.

Talk to me,
Communicate.
I want be your friend.

Come now, I'm willing to listen.
All you have to do, is tell.
