Actions speak louder than words,
but it doesn't take much volume
to outdo silence.
So why are you shouting in my ear?
You're numbing my ear drums.
So when you do talk to me
I can't hear what you are saying,
all I can rely on is what I see.
Your mouth moving,
her laughing in response,
as your actions scream louder,
deafening me.
So I can't listen to reason
all I can hear are the voices in my head,
stupid voices telling me to give up.
Unable to hear, I can no longer speak.
I cannot protest or argue.
I can only cry.
