Special

I stare around the room
and hear the silence there
I have won one battle
I have two more to fight.

I am so terrified
of life.

I've wanted to talk to someone about it
but no one has time, for listening
not when they are fighting for their own lives
in stages far ahead of mine.

People who don't know me will give me false council
will say that it is silly
but they aren't listening to the words I'm afraid to tell them
especially when they aren't listening


aren't listening
aren't listening....
