Wanting to be silent

There is so much to say...

Yet when I speak...

I am the ignorant one

As I speak with compassion 

Conveying my thoughs with grandeur 

Still I'm conflicted

Every sentence seems surreal

So I cry in the corners

Where mice leave deposits 

Snakes curls up awaiting 

I drift like my tears

As they drop from my chin

Still I want to be heard

As insane as thought of...

I've come to understand 

The more I am compelled to share 

It in the normalized in which I seek

Ah, but the question that is given permission Is why am I the only one that truly cares

They are consumed with themselves 

But in the moments before and after

It is I!

I am the loneliest one...

The one that I alone is I

So I'll remain as I was at birth

Unknown to those that are I the most

I have learned from drastic experiences 

That I am a self proclaimed 

Academy award winner

For best supporting actor

Through my drama...

The insults proved it was comedic 

So I'll just sit 

Crying enough tears to soothe the land

Upon which I've fallen
