when I ask you to listen to me
and you start giving me advice
you have not done what I asked
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 problem
you have failed me
strange as that may seem
listen! all I ask is that you listen
don't talk or do----just hear me
Ralph Roughton
Hmmm... Maybe I should learn a thing or two in the poem... But I wonder, how to show concern if u're juz gonna keep quiet listening to someone's problem without giving any attempt to help? I sense conflicts with my principles here... Hmmm...
