When she cries, nobody bothers

when she laughs, nobody hears.

Her eyes tell that she is in tears

because no one had heard

her voice in years.

Gestures did not do

Words explained her misery.

Words that were not spoken

but scrawled on paper so casually.

People tried to understand her,

but her language was lost.

Words and colors defined her,

but her language was lost.
