The Mime I've Become

The mime, I've become
The mute
Desolute
My voice is my victim
My words forever unheard
Feelings forgotten
Trust obliterated
Life destroyed
Heart suffocated
From walls unseen
I hear "Speak louder."
But my barrier forbids
Lives entangled
Now fight to live
The blind one hears
The deaf one refuses to see
The children they suffer
From feelings unseen
The mime, I've become
Unable to speak
All those words
You can't hear
Ask why I look beaten
Upset and frayed
I'd tell you all my words
But it's not like you'd hear
After all
It's a mime I've become
A being seen
Not heard
