I have a voice, I know I do
I've heard myself speak
I've heard myself shout
even scream. Have you?
You see me, but do you hear me?
I move my lips each time hoping
the sounds and the words would be heard,
but still you do not react.
Can you hear me?
I know my words aren't whispers,
I know they aren't quiet.
My words have meaning,
I do not say them lightly.
My words are of importance.
muffled to silence in your presence.
Is it of less value?
Are my words nothing?
Is my voice just a part of my imagination?
Is it even there?
