The Lonely Road

I walk a solitary path, a reclusive soul/ Lonely whispers echo where shadows console/ Nobody speaks, nobody sees/ I'm lost in their world, like a silent breeze/ In public, I vanish, an invisible man/ An outcast, a shadow in their grander plans/ Yet within me burns a heart so true/ A Romeo's passion, longing for breakthrough/ I may be deaf, but I hear through skies/ Telepathy bridges what hearing denies/ My silent ears, tune to unspoken sound/ A mind reader, a Psychic yet deaf/ I hear you, feel you, though silence surrounds/ Don't hate me, don't judge what you think you know/ Don't let my deafness mark me with woe/ For I am not less, and I am not weak/ A soul in the shadows, yearning to speak/ The journey stretches, endless and long/ Loneliness binds, but I remain strong/ A road of solitude, yet I've always known/ The quiet holds power, it's my own/
