You've Been Quiet

You don't listen. You wait for your turn to talk.

You've been quiet a lot lately

You've been quiet a lot lately. You've been in your head.

Quit turning the music down. Move a little.

Why talk about it? It just stresses you out. You can't do anything about it.

Do you accept this, or do you think it must change? Now or tomorrow or one hundred years from now, this cannot be inevitable and forever. We can work towards a future that others will see.

Where do you think the change will come from? Who must change? Who must now demand the change?
