Mind Vs. Soul Poem by Gabriel Maybank

Shut up I say…Shut up I said!
Why are you screaming?
Ha!
You thought someone was listening?
They can’t even hear you…
I can barely hear you.
Speak up!
Go ahead and yell then.
Look, they ain’t even paying you no attention.
Not even one of them.
Did you hear me?
NOT EVEN ONE!
Ha Ha Ha!
You make me laugh.
You’re so pathetic,
Matter fact you make me sick.
My stomach turns every time I hear your voice.
They all feel the same way too…

Shut up I say…Shut up I said!
You make me so mad with all that racquet
La la la la la I can’t hear you.
Hey!
Do you mind?
I’m trying to go to sleep.
Can you please- STOP!
For real!
I can’t take it anymore.
I have a headache.
Are you going to do this all day and all night?
Once again, they…are…not…listening! ! !
THEY ARE NOT LISTENING! ! !
I’m starting to think you’re not even listening.
Hello! ?
Can you hear me?
Knock, knock, knock…come on man…

Shut up I say…Shut up I said!
Okay…okay
I’ll hear you out.
Wait! ?
I don’t have to listen to anything you say
I’m in control here.
I don’t even know what you’re saying.
What? You bilingual now?
What does that mean anyway?
Look, I’m trying to talk to you but all you do is scream.
You act like you’re in jail or something.
Hey!
Calm down, you’re stressing me out.
I can’t think straight with you yelling all the time.
What in the world does “FREEDOM” mean anyway?

Shut up I say…Shut up I said!
FREEDOM! FREEDOM! FREEDOM!
My soul screams FREEDOM!
