Mute. Poem by jade Ni.

Mute.

Look at me, Just look at me!
please don't close your mind.
I know i cannot speak to you
but here my words you'lle find.

Just because you hear no sound,
just because you hear no voice,
doesn't mean i cannot speak
the method not my choice.

We all have different ways to talk
express thoughts and desires,
and just because you hear no sound
makes me not a liar.

So look at me, just look at me,
put me in your place.
tell me if your different now,
tell me to my face.
