What You Don't See

Folder: 
Other Dedications

I do everything I must

in order to not appear

like something's wrong

as I break down in the

comfort of loneliness.



I seal my mouth shut

because they’ve told

me that I have nothing

worth saying so I’m quiet

though I scream inside.



With curtains drawn

and secrets whispered

behind closed doors,

I hide so they won’t heed

my cries for help.



They hear me clearly, but

have learned to disregard

me because they don’t

have the time in the midst

of their own problems.
