A life of silence
Mel Reyes
She doesn't speak
Because she's afraid
Poor judgment
pinned onto her shirt
like a label of some type
a worthless being pushed aside
She pleads for one to find
Her soul of solitude
To understand her mind
Her point of view
But no one does
Is she rare?
Or simply,
Does nobody care?
Insert her in a sentence
The conversation
dies quick
Set her as a friend
The odds are set
She is like a pest
that wont go away
or so she thinks this way
Ask her to go somewhere
maybe tag to a film
She will refuse too quickly
Unnoticed nervousness
laced in her voice
She wants to talk,
to be noticed in the world
To stand up
Make a difference
But she can't
Or maybe she can
But the odds are set
Maybe she was born
for nothing more
than to be set aside
a castaway bird
with a broken beak
A life of silence
Is a painful joke
But she lives everyday
And makes it through
In high hope
She looks into the future
And awaits a friend
Who will understand her.
