When I simply Listen-When Someone truly Listens to me- A Team poem

When I simply Listen

I am more conscious of what the speaker is saying
I matter
I get sleepy
I feel I am doing what I am meant to do
I seem to lose focus and need to catch myself

When I simply Listen
I learn a little bit about a person
I am more engaged in the story
I got more understanding
I hear what isn’t said, and become intuitive

When I simply Listen
I hear what is said and I  acknowledge it
I become part of the story.

When I simply Listen
I feel connected with the storyteller
I feel grateful
A whole new world opens up from a whole new vantage point

When someone truly listens to me
They understand the heart of the message behind my story
I fulfill them with richness
I feel anxious and sleepy

When someone truly listens to mestoryfest5
I feel empowered
I need interaction from them, not silence
They can see things that I don’t see in myself
I feel more comfortable and confident
I feel as if my  point was made and I  was engaging.

When someone truly listens to me
I see that I am heard
I am comfortable being expressive
I feel like my story is important
I feel important
I feel powerful

When someone truly listens to me
I can tell
