"Just talk." That's what I hear everyday. Yet, you don't know how Hard it is. I want friends. I want to speak- But I can't seem to open my mouth. I try so hard to get your attention. But you only look at the normal ones. Can't you just take a glance at me? You ignore me, I feel forgotten. I isolate myself to test if you'll Come and comfort me. But you don't even see me. I used to talk, why can't I now? I ask myself the same question. You tell me to smile, yes, I'd love to- But I can't when I feel alone. They think I'm just shy but it's More than that. This curse I have is Selective Mutism.
