When I Speak

When I speak

No one cares to listen

So why bother?

Why waste the time?

Why waste these words?

All I ever wsnted

Was someone to hear me

To hear and to understand

But there’s nothing out there

Just silence

Silence I keep shouting into

And all I get are echoes

Off the empty walls

Not sure why I try

Opening my mouth

Expelling my breath

When it all comes to naught

No one hears

No one listens

Only silence

I still suffer
