Shut Up

A mere body, a mind, a soul;
is that all I am?
Do i not have a voice?
I shant stand being ignored,
I've tried before, many a time.
I don't like it,
I can't stand it.
Shut up and LISTEN TO ME!!!
I'm not just craving your attention,
there's more important things to me.
So you see, that's not the task at hand.
I never once asked for your approval,
nor did i ask for acceptance.
What i want from you is simple,
for it doesn't even cost one cent.
You don't need to spend endless days
searching for what i need;
all i ask is that you listen.
Stop talking to everyone else.
Oh, don't worry, not forever,
just long enough so i can speak.
I've been trying for so long now;
will i ever get a chance?
T'is not the world that's looking bleak,
oh no, not from where i stand.
Your face is what I tire of;
your whiny voice makes me cringe,
your ditsy giggle makes me scream!
You need to invest in a brain,
or perhaps a leather muzzle.
So, one final time I plead;
but do not expect me to beg,
I have my pride
little though it may be.
But that's not what i want to say;
Just shut up and LISTEN TO ME!!!
