Look at me,
Let me speak
Though I know
My voice would not be sufficient
For you to hear,
For you to understand
But look at me,
And allow me to open
The mouth that I don't have,
To utter the words
I've been keeping for years
That remain unheard
For you to know
For you to feel
Look at me,
Stare at me.
And let my silence roar
Into your heart.
Into your soul.
