Mute

Speak up you say, but when I do, I hear anger... Speak up you say, but when I do, it doesn’t make sense... Speak up you say, but when I do, it’s the wrong answer... Speak up you say, but when I do, you twist it around... Speak up you say, but when I do, you don’t see my side... Speak up you say, because what I say matters, you want someone with a voice... Speak up you say, but when I do, it comes out all wrong... Speak up you say, but when I do, it only makes things worse... Speak up you say, but when I do, you can’t seem to fathom... Speak up you say, but when I do, you don’t believe me... Speak up you say, but when I do, I end up regretting it... Speak up you say, but my voice you don’t hear, but words are scrambled... Speak up you say, but this is why I don’t, why I’ve remained mute for years... Speak up you say, is it really worth it, when it falls on deaf ears...
