Difference

I spent my days looking

into the eyes of the person

who should have known

me best.

My body never communicated

my thoughts well, and

show don’t tell

never applied to me.

Yet my voice didn’t seem to be

in the same language,

I was speaking truth,

the honesty many negate

and the raised eyebrows only

got higher,

when people were forced to accept

I had a mind to speak.

Yet, they never listened.
