Trapped silence
Soundproof glass is
all around me
I’m trapped in a 6
by 8
I sing a song that no one hears because
No one can
relate
Only I can hear
myself
They can’t hear me
through the glass
My space is very
limited
3 steps is all I
last
I can’t tell them
how I feel
Because they
wouldn’t understand
I’m speaking
words
My mouth is
moving
But they’re deaf to
hear the sound
I pace my 6 by 8
And i'm screaming
Let me
out!
My mother was never
there
and my father let
me down
I pray for my
mother’s presence
And I call my
fathers phone
I speak through his
phone
Leaving a
message
Saying daddy please
be home!
I’m in trapped
silence
Words
unheard
Kept inside this
box
No one sees
me
No one hears
me
I seem silent but
i’m not
I’m just ………trapped
in this silent box
