Can you hear me?

Hear me out
Before disconnecting the call
Hear me out please
I know I’m not always loud enough
I know I don’t always let on
It’s not your fault
I usually keep to myself
It’s not like you can do anything about it
I tend to hold up just fine
I say I’ll go through it and I usually do
I say yes when I wish I could have said no
It’s not your fault if I lie to myself
But hear me out
Before disconnecting the call
Look out for those gaps in our communication
Please notice my moments of hesitation
For once don’t ask me to do something
For once let me be selfish
Hear me out please
Even if the silence stretches
Even if words fail to make sense
Just wait for me to speak again
Before disconnecting the call
Hear me out please
