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.
