Just Listen

Just listen to me

I cry like you do

Hurt, fall, trip...

I feel shame and regret

 

Just listen to me

I lost my parents

I am heartbroken

I lost my dream

 

Just listen to me

I hate stress

I'm busy that I don't know

What it's like

to hang out with friends

 

But... Just listen to me

You will never see me cry

You will fall in love with my smile

You won't recognize me

because of my past

 

Just listen to me

I am in college

Pulling myself forward

if not for my dreams

but for my brothers

 

Just listen to me

Thank to you, I was heard

I want to be heard

It feels good just sharing it

 

Listen,

You don't have to do anything for me

Just listen to me

because you make my day

I know that I will listen to you

 

Thanks for listening to me

I will complete the American Dream

And I will make YOU proud
