now that I have your attention I would like to say
nothing …….
because that's how I am
I'm trying to get your attention not using my words but using my actions
can't you see my cry for help in my silence
or in the way I stare blankly at you
but really I'm screaming,
WHY CAN'T YOU HEAR ME SCREAMING ??
my voice is knocking, its knocking on the inside of my teeth that form a bony wall between the outside and my chance at freedom
freedom from the burden of carrying all the secrets that you told me not to tell
but are gnawing at my interior
scraping away my perfect sanity
