Signs

My soundless words sift through your mind like sand
Like trying to stop sand from falling through your fingers
No contemplation
Just ignorance

My muted cries flow through your mind like a river
Like trying to keep a river from flowing downhill
No consideration
Just disregard

My silent shrieks pass through your mind like a bird
Like trying to keep a bird from flying into the sky
No alleviation
Just judgment

My misunderstood actions
My peculiar phrases
My incomprehensible babbling

You heard me scream
You heard me talk
You heard me shriek

But why don’t you say anything?
