Poem: I speak but no one listens.
Sounds rebound from closed minds
Can’t you feel the pain?
Can’t you feel the love?
Page after page
Expressions of my shattered soul.

Do you hear me when I speak?
Nodding without interest
Pretending to hear what I say
Don’t patronize me
Don’t coddle me
My words are me
My soul exposed for all to see
Can’t you see me?
As I stand here
I am here in these words.

Why don’t you hear me?
