For Those Who Are Voiceless

"Am I dead?

You are breathing.

Is this death?

This is life.

I am running out of hope. I feel so lifeless.

Your heart is heavy?

My whole life is heavy.

You are miserable then.

I am dead.

Close your eyes.

Hear me.

You look dead."

A Don't Let Me Be Lonely inspired writing.
