SOS

Say something;
your silence scars my skin,
shatters my soul,
strains my skull,
stretches out my suffering and 
snowballs my syndrome.

Out loud;
your opinion is not obvious,
openness not optional,
obligation not obsolete,
only your opposition to the occasion is
orchestrating this onslaught.

Speak;
I scream and shout,
shriek and screech,
sob and solicit,
still, you stay shut-off and silent and
strike me speechless, too.
