Speak your peace,
and speak your mind.
But don’t leave others far behind
…
When the same person talks,
it’s not only annoying
but there are other people’s chances
you might be destroying
…
And it’s a sign of pretension
when you hog the attention.
Hope it’s not your intention
to occupy all perceived dimensions.
…
The center may be fun,
but you’re not the only one.
Sometimes others rightfully yearn
to be understood and have their turn.
…
You don’t always have to have the last word.
‘cuz yours is not the sole voice that needs to be heard.
So accommodate, don’t dominate
and remember EVERYONE needs a say.
…
(This poem was inspired by a very annoying person I once knew who couldn’t for the life of him/her pipe down and let other people talk. Don’t be like that, ok? SOOOOOOOOOO obnoxious).
