Then Listen Close To Me
Add 'Don't' in front of each line.
In the poem, he's telling a child not to listen to grownups.
In my version, I'm telling myself not to listen to 'me' or the demons that have lived in my head for most of my life.
I still feel very much a child.
Now, I'm starting to listen to my heart. The demons in my head? Yeah, not so much.
Anything can happen, child. Anything can be.
