i cant do it
i cant speak

i cant do it
i cant talk

i can only talk
to certain people
and only a few
understand my words

i try
to make people understand
but they refuse to hear it
they dont understand

i give them hints
i speak
i give them clues
i talk

they dont understand
they dont get it
i cant speak
i cant talk

i dont talk to people
who dont understand
i speak
i talk

the people who get it
they acknowledge me
they pay attention to my words
they probably feel bad

i can speak
i can talk
i cant make them understand
i cant make them get it

i might just give up
but the people who
understand
would actually care

the people who
dont understand
wouldnt even notice
that i couldnt speak or talk

and i cant speak
or scream
or talk
or hurt anymore
