So I read
I read and I listen to the voice in my head reading aloud for me, for no one else to hear
I sit under my window and the birds cry for my attention
The tree lushes in green to catch my eye
And the sky blows up in bright blue like screams
But it is no use
The waves in my brain are not crashing in
The electricity turned off by emotions I can’t reach
A blank canvas trying to be painted when the colours melt together like cheese in a pan
The only sound that gets through are the words being mouthed by a bodiless soul stroking a numb silhouette
So I read
I read and I listen to the voice in my head reading aloud for me, the only thing I hear
