Change In Heart

my opinions will be mine
and yours will be yours
nothing will change that
but i can try and try hard
to understand your point
so don't give in or give up
communication is everything to me
if i can't be open
i can't be.
you shutting me down and trying to shut me up
that won't work,
you will just make me lash out more.
what don't you understand about that?
everything, apparently.
you don't apologize or listen
or even try.
just give a little bit
push yourself to understand me
have a change in heart.
i know i have.
