The Quiet One

Tony36

She speaks

Though without words

Her expression says it all

 

She speaks

Though without words

Her hands do the talking for her

 

Why was she born this way

Mute

Meek

Without a word to say

 

The world shuns her

turns her away

All because of what she can not say

 

Is there not someone with a loving heart

Is there not someone who cares

Or will they all just stop and stare

At this woman without a voice

 

She wants to speak

She wants to convey how she feels

She wants to love

As well as be loved

Instead of seen as a voiceless freak

 

She cries when no one is watching

For to let the world see her cry

Would be letting the world win

That she can not let happen

 

She is strong

Despite the pain

She carries on

 

She feels no shame

She was just born this way

She prays for those who mock her

Hoping they see the light some day
