Permitted

Am I permitted to speak?

To speak my mind,

My heart,

My soul, am I?

May I say things?

Things that you will love,

That you will hate,

That you will not understand, am I?

Am I, confusing you?

Misunderstanding,

Over looking,

Not listening to you, am I?

May I sit down?

To hear you,

To listen,

To learn,

To accept, who I am?
