Hear me,
Hear my words, those I speak, those I don't,
Hear me,
Hear my cries, my whispers,
Hear me,
Hear my reason, my nonsense,
Hear me,
Hear my laugh, my sob,
Now Listen.
See me,
See my actions, see my apathy,
See me,
See my qualities, my faults,
See me,
See my bravery, my cowardice,
See me,
See my pride, my shame,
See me,
See my glee, my tears,
Now Believe.

The author's comments:
I wanted to write a poem that connects "Hearing is not Listening" to "Seeing is Believing". There isn't much to learn from here, but I just wanted to write it as a sort of reminder.
If you pay attention there are a lot of things that you realize that you have missed.
