Looking for an answer but not listening to words, <br />speaking without thinking and unleashing a world of hurt, <br />asking questions and trying to improve, <br />learning to shut up and let others do the work. <br /> <br />Seeking an answer in deserts of words, <br />lashing out with vocabulary not intended to cause pain, <br />taking for granted the people who have always been there, <br />feeling like dying when they leave. <br /> <br />Taking the answers and keeping them to myself, <br />learning new meanings and paths to tread, <br />improving but still no better than before, <br />learning to shut up and let others do the work.<br /><br />Laura Cummings<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/never-improving-always-the-same/
