No more words

They ask me to talk
But when i do they shut me down
My feelings get ripped up
Thrown to the ground

They say i am too quiet
To open up now
When i speak my truth
My intentions get twisted
So unsure of how

They beat me down
Say i give off attitude
All i do is state facts
Funny how its ok for their tone
Which is harsh and rude

Tired of ridicule and harsh interactions
Now i look my speech away
What can they judge
Without my spoken words
No more price i will pay

Here lies the truth of what will be
I will not speak a single word out now
My feelings i will express only way
I truly know how
One solid and constant friend
My ever lasting poetic pen
