Listen to me, I command it!
<p><em style="">Why is no one listening to me?</em></p><p><em>I look around me and it's quiet. Why am I yelling on top of my voice, my lungs about to expire and all I get is silence. </em></p><p><em>This scream has no sound, it's a silent desperation to be heard, to be listened to, to be taken seriously and to be recognized. I pause and ask myself: where are the jobs, the recommendations, the applause, the cheer from an audience, the back slaps and side hugs...where are they?</em></p><p><em>I sit in my room all day long, strategizing and re-strategizing, but nothing is working. Again I ask, Why is my voice not heard?</em></p><p><em>I do NOT need any motivation, don't tell me it will get better , don't tell me to keep doing what I do, to show up when I can. </em></p><p><em>Don't tell me anything that will make me break down and cry, because I won't cry before you. No! I will wait till at night, when it's quiet and the curtains are drawn, when I check and there are still no comments or likes on my post, when there are no return emails from the HR's , when my write-up on Substack has disappeared among a thousand others and then I check my account and there's a measly 2,600 NGN In it. That is when I would cry. </em></p><p><em>Because nothing seems to be working, ah ah that's not true...nothing seems to be working for ME. I am tired of the silence that follow every post, every new Business idea, every job application, every interview. </em></p><p><em style="">People say I can be anything I choose to be: I believe them and I have chosen to be something I cannot disclose. Success may not be foreseeable but I need to be heard, I must be heard, I will change the narrative with my words, the words that belong to my mind, words I control and let escape. oh! the world would hear my voice, you just wait and see!</em></p>
