tragedy has made me silent. he crept down my throat and softly snipped away at my voice; now there is nothing. i smile and nod smile and nod smile and smile and nod and nod falling asleep in plain sight watching your lips move in speech wishing mine would follow suit tragedy has made me silent, made me timid made me grow in stature until i am awkward gangly always in the way hiding behind a shorter sister but still a sore thumb a quiet quaking obvious protrusion i invoke conversation but it dies out with the smile in my eyes the bobbing of my head the silence of my lips tragedy has made me silent.

why i no longer talk
tragedy has made me silent. he crept down my throat and softly snipped away at my voice; now there is nothing. i smile and nod smile and nod smile and smile and nod and nod falling asleep in plain sight watching your lips move in speech wishing mine would follow suit tragedy has made me silent, made me timid made me grow in stature until i am awkward gangly always in the way hiding behind a shorter sister but still a sore thumb a quiet quaking obvious protrusion i invoke conversation but it dies out with the smile in my eyes the bobbing of my head the silence of my lips tragedy has made me silent.
