Quiet

I can't remove the tape over my mouth
because of the pitiful looks,
the people who will try to help,
and even the eye-rolls.

I can't un-gag myself
because of my parents confused faces,
my not-understanding family,
and my not-understanding self

I am disgusted with myself
but at the same time
I just want a hug from the one person
I know will never care.
