People Who Want To Be Heard

People who want to be heard
          Speak their hearts openly
          Hoping to be understood
          
          And they also
          Shoot up buildings in blind rage
          After years of feeling ignored

People who want to be loved
          Selflessly sacrifice for another
          Give of themselves freely
 
          And they also
          Stay way too long in relationships
          That don’t give them what they need or
          deserve
 
People who want to be seen
          Push vulnerability aside
          Show up and stand out
 
          And they also
          Steamroll over others
          Take credit that should be shared

People who want things
Go after them
In different
Ways
