Please Don't Say Anything, Just Listen Listen When I ask you to listen to me, And you start giving me advice, When I ask you to listen to me, And you begin to tell me why I Shouldn't feel that way, You are trampling on my feelings. When I ask you to listen to me, And you feel you have to do Something to solve my problems, You have failed me, strange as that may seem. Listen Not talk or do - just hear me. When you do something for me That I need to do for myself, You contribute to my fear And to my feelings of
inadequacy. That I do what I feel, No matter how irrational, Then I can quit trying to convince you, And go about the business Of understanding what's behind my feelings. So please just listen and just hear me. And if you want to talk, Wait a minute for your turn - and I'll listen to you. |
