"I Want to Tell You Something Important, (Part 1)" by DMarie

I want to tell you something IMPORTANT...
But I am fearful...
You don’t listen ... really listen...
You hear, look attentive... but...
DISMISS ME!
My thoughts
My feelings
My actions
My words.

I actually am no longer fearful...
I just know:
YOU DON’T LISTEN
You won’t listen
You don’t want to listen.

You play king...
But at the expense of me...
And often the expense of others too.

The Emperor’s New Clothes...
I can see them on you now...
You won’t change...

You DON’T  WANT to understand.
So I have to....
I have to change my acceptance of your behavior.

I love the emperor, but hate your wardrobe...
AND ALWAYS HAVE!!!
