STORY STARTER
"Everybody wants to judge, but nobody wants to listen."
Write about a character who is going through a typically stigmatised situation. As an added challenge, try to write from the perspective of the opposite gender to yourself.
Listen To Me
_listen to me_ I scream
_i deserve to be heard aswell_
_i need somebody to tell me itβs okay_
_i need to know itβs not just me_
the words in my head need release,
but nobody wants to listen.
They judge,
They judge and judge and judge.
But nobody listens.
Lend me your ear for a moment.
One moment.
I do not need your pity,
I do not need your charity.
I merely need to be heard.
To be listened to.
_please_ I beg
_please_
_one moment_
_one moment before i fall apart_
_just to know iβm not alone_
_to know somebody is out there_
I need to feel loved
To feel cared for
Appreciated.
By one person.
One hidden gem in the midst of this pile of dog shit.
Just one.
_please_
