The voices echo inside my head.
I’m being silent,
But the thoughts crescendo until they drown out the voices.
It’s like I’m standing on stage
With no crowd to listen.
I can faintly hear the rhythm in my head.
The orchestra around me is playing out their hearts,
Telling the world everything they have,
And the crowd breaks out into applause.
But me, I’m alone.
I’m screaming to the audience,
Craving to be heard.
I don’t have the melody tonight- no.
Not ever.
I’ll be playing in the background,
Never for anyone to listen,
But only myself.
