I scream.
I feel the words leave my throat.
My lips form the words
That I have been concealing.
But strangely,
No sound meets my ears.
Have I gone deaf?
Have I gone mute?
No. Impossible.
I was talking just now.
It's been a minute.
Not a second more.
I stop trying to scream;
Returning to normal conversation.
They can hear me fine now,
Why not before?
It's strange.
Weird. Unnatural.
Why weren't my cries heard?
Why couldn't I put my feelings into words?
I stop to think for a moment.
Maybe I imagined it all.
Imagined my screams.
Imagined my pain.
But no. It's real.
I can still feel the pieces of my heart
crumbling within me.
It's definitely real.
But why wasn't I heard?
Why was no one listening?
Were they choosing to ignore
my cries for help?
But why? Why?
I don't understand.
Am I doomed to walk alone
without anyone to care?
It's just one time.
I won't cry again.
Stop me from plunging into insanity.
Be my friend...
