Speak

Why so silent?

It is easier not to say anything

Nobody really wants to hear

What you have to say

You don't understand my head voice answers

Maybe I can gobble my whole self away

It is getting harder to talk

I can't get any words out

How can I answer? I don't have to

Silent Talk

My throat closes up

He isn't going to notice me. I'm not here

They want me to speak

Why won't you say anything?

I have nothing

I say nothing

I am nothing
