Gentle Heart

I’m communicating, you’re just not listening.

To you, only you are interesting.

If you utilized your attention,

you’d find resonance even in silence.

I disengage because of ignorance.

You assume I’m unintelligent

after knowing me for five minutes.

Somehow, you’re amused by your prejudice,

which disguises your lack of competence.

You’re in denial of your inexperience.

Interacting with your self-centeredness

has proven to result in nothingness.

I prefer the company of brilliant,

selfless individuals with vision

who enrich the human spirit

rather than extinguish.
