I forgot what I wanted to say here
I just want to say something
I’m sorry I can’t think of anything good
Who am I apologizing to?
I wasting so much time putting this here
Only a few minutes
Sometimes it’s okay to waste time
More than a few minutes
Just to put your mind on a white background
With some meaningful words
I can’t lie down and think meaninglessly anymore
No one will read this
I have to write meaninglessly instead
No one will hear this
Maybe it isn’t meaningless or a waste of time
I want you to read this.
Maybe if it could just make people listen to me
I want you to hear this.
Maybe if it could make people listen to other people
I want you to listen.
Maybe I can make you listen.

Now this one's about how I want people to listen to me when I talk to them.
But it's more than that, too.
