my words

My words are all gone,

You refused to listen.

I pleaded for so long,

But my words, you missed them.

They started out kind,

So gentle and soft.

But after much time,

To be heard was lost.

So I tried something else,

I tried using screams.

Anger grew in swells,

But only in dreams.

After awhile I knew,

It hurt so much more,

To let my words spew,

And be completely ignored,

Then to just stay quiet.

Keep my words inside.

Be invisible, I’ll try it,

My voice cast aside.
