I'd Never Been One for Talking

My body went stiff

My hands went numb

My brain went dead

My voice, was gone


A conversation

That was all I sought

I wracked my brain

But no ideas came


I wanted to talk

I just didn’t know how


I wanted some friends

But they ignored me now


I was so quiet

They’d forgot I was there


Not one peep

Came out of my mouth


I was alone

Alone in this world


invisible to all.
