The Volume Is Turned Way Down Low

Inspired by a moving conversation in a show. Some people appear incapable of expressing or feeling emotions. But, oftentimes they shut themselves down because of trauma. The volume is turned way down low By Michelle Morris 28/08/2023 You may not be normal But normal doesn't really exist You do have human feelings They're just a lot more difficult to access The volume is turned way down low You just have to listen more carefully I know that you can experience love I know that you are capable of empathy Don't dismiss the hands of friendship Some people are capable of being trusted Remember that normal is an illusion And that everyone needs someone Tune in to your deepest heart Learn to detect the movement of the dial Over time you'll turn up the volume And become more acquainted with human life © Michelle Morris, 2023
