I Have No Voice by JMCQ

I have no voice,
my old voice, once loud and strong
has fallen beneath the waves
of all the arm-chair politicans.
I scream, no sound comes out
even if anyone heard me
their biases would taint any tone.
I walk through life as a ghost,
noticed by few, hated by most,
my corporal body is rotting,
adding more of an impetus
for you to ignore me.
Today I committed suicide,
the readline read:
20, m, found dead in room
he saw the light too soon.
People praise my accomplishments;
my mother gave a wondrous eulogy
everyone cried.
Why couldn't you cry for me earlier,
give a shit when I was alive.
Talk to me when I'm sitting next
to you in class.
say hi, do something, do fucking something
I'm here, I'm here
but you never hear me,
your ears covered by the cloth
of your own selfishness
too many people have died,
too many mothers have cried,
just because you ostacized us,
called us "Fag" while passing us
in that Avalanche you got from your parents
too many times you snicker, you laugh
behind our backs, in front of our faces,
you aren't dumb, you've masked yourself.
now, now you dress and act all different ways
but it's still all the same
you yet cause us pain
driving us insane
and the lights spin, they go out
when the glint makes a raceway
along my legs, my wrists.
The voices still pound in my ears
wanting to run, scared, out of school
out of city, out of mind and life,
let those voices stop
let my voice be heard for once
among all of you who scream
scr-EAMscreamscream
you may look like me
but brother, you sure ain't me.
you want to see me fail,
you'd love to see me die,
it would get you off
if you saw my father cry.
I'm a ghost, my body in a box,
and no one hears me,
still no one cares.
I have no voice.
no voice, it makes me scream
in my silent mouse voice.
