apathetic

actions speak louder than words

Do you realize you listen to everyone in the room except me?

You'll ask a viewpoint question

and let everybody speak

except me

"Let her speak", someone said

And later you pointed out how quiet I was at dinner

Do you realize you silenced me by talking over me the moment I'd start to say a word?

I realized when you interrupted me to say you were leaving that perhaps most of what I have to say is meaningless or at the least just boring

You don't really seem to do that to others

I know this doesn't sound very poetic

but it's the only thought(s) I have to pen

(It's crazy how small apathy can make someone feel. Yes, that someone is me. I'm learning sometimes we have to listen to these feelings. I'm learning to notice how others make me feel. I don't have to surround myself with your apathy)
