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
