Mute

I look up at the sky
Tears fill my eyes
When will these problems end
When can my smile actually
Have meaning to it.
Around me; all laughter and smiles.
Something that hasn't
Happened to me for a while
They all snicker and tease
No room to appease
I open my mouth but
No words approach their ears
Another joke they crack
I silently sit back
I'm better off mute to them.
I look up at the sky
Hoping better days will come by
