Voiceless


 

To speak is a gift

Taken for granted

To speak it  a gift

She cannot tell you what she wants

To speak is a gift

We guess and hope to be right

To speak is a gift

She gets angry and is seen to be a disturbance

To speak is a gift

She is taken out and left alone 

To speak is a gift

She cant explain it to us

To speak is a gift

If only we knew

To speak is a gift

But our society is not ready for this type of "special"

To speak is a gift

They push her in closets to as to not get in the way

Speak
