Voiceless

Voiceless

Voiceless –

What is the point of language

when “No” is rejected

and “Stop” is ignored?

He wasn’t taught to listen,

to distinguish the difference

between pleasant moans

and squeals of agony.

One day, I will learn

how to talk again.

I will be hoping

that next time,

my voice will be heard.
