I said Hello as you walked by hoping that you would hear me, but you didn't
I cried and wondered why you didn't even flinch at the sound of my voice
How could you walk past me with out a simple notion that I was there
Then I saw some one else I knew and again I called out but nothing
I kept calling out to people but no one answered
Why had everyone turned against me
why doesn't anyone acknowledge me
So I began to talk to myself and much to my surprise I heard nothing.
What was going on I can hear everyone else.
Why can't you hear me! I scream as a multitude of people pass by me
All of them seeing me but not hearing me
How can a person live like this!
How can I express this disparity with no sound.
I begin to panic!
And right as I feel a scream pierce my ears I wake up

This dream has haunted me for years now
Ever since the day I shut my mouth instead of telling you the truth
Some say silence is golden,
but I know the truth Silence is the enemy.
