Speak my language
When did we become so
Settled into ourselves?
When did we stop listening
Start arguing instead?
Together is the only way
To make it through the pain
To close the distance
Between our different views
But together only works when
Courage pulls us out of our
Comfort zone. Willing to
Risk pain — Risk disagreement
I can’t expect you to hear me if
I don’t speak your language
You can’t expect me to hear you
If you don’t speak mine
When did it become ok
To be separate? To stop
Hearing and understanding?
Why did we stop listening?
If I can only talk to you
When you are already interrupted
If you can only talk to me
When I am already interrupted
How can we start to connect again?
How do we bring back middle ground?
How do we learn once more how
Differently everyone sees things?
