How Many Times?

How many times have I repeated the same words to an empty room to feel like someone’s listening?

How many times have I made the same arguments to someone who isn’t there to feel like someone cares?

How many times have I devised a different way to express an idea to feel like others will listen?

How many times will I walk the same path until I finally stand up and start to speak?
