Listen Up

You don't have to yell, or fight, or throw a fit.
We both know that wont get you shit.

I know why you sit in your room, and cry
You feel like love has passed you by.

Growing up life was rough
That's why you act so tough.

You look for affection in older men
Just because they tell you they're your friend.

Listen Up, I know love is hard to find
They only have one thing on their mind.

I hate to see you in a bad place
Then I have to catch another case.

I know the feeling you just want to crawl
Out your skin.
It seem like you just can't win.

Every time you turn around
Someone wants to break you down.

Listen Up, there is always going to be people
Who want to talk smack
remember who got your back.

Aunts, Uncles,and Grandmothers
Through the good, the bad even brothers.

So when someone is trying to help you
Who love you just.... LISTEN UP

When power leads man towards arrogance, poetry reminds him of his limitations. When power narrows the area of man's concern, poetry reminds him of the richness and diversity of existence. When power corrupts, poetry cleanses.

John F. Kennedy (1917-1963) Thirty-fifth President of the USA
