I’m done with empty conversations
Tired of my words going to waste
My well-articulated ideas deemed meaningless
I’m done with empty conversations
I put too much thought into my feedback
For it to be shrugged off
Like I barely replied
I’m done with empty conversations
I’m sick of the “yeah okays”
The “maybe I don’t knows”
Knowing what I said went unheard
I’m done with empty conversations
I want to be heard
Wish my realizations known
Acknowledged and recognized
I want to be heard
My opinion taken to account
These words held with value
My perception respected and noted
I want to be heard
I speak from experience and practice
I choose my words carefully
With meaning, assessment, and evidence
I deserve to be heard.
