Problem arising
Need an answer quick
Ask yourself the reason
A mind that’s densely thick

Yearning to vent
Wanting to be heard
Lost your train of thought
Forgot the murmured words

Speaking not listening
Validation is a must
Care you give to no one
Only you can you trust

Asking for advice
Though using it is nil
The only ideas good enough
Are the ideas you instill

Take your advice given
Tell all of it to yourself
Enlighten every detail
Thinking only of himself
