It's like I'm stuck inside a soundproof box,
I talk and no-one hears,
If I was calling out in need of help,
My cries would fall on deafened ears,
The others don't even notice I'm there,
Like I'm not even in view,
I sure would like someone to listen,
But it's hard when you're see-through,
My opinions hardly even leave my mouth,
Before they're swept up by the breeze,
I smile at people passing by,
But they pretend they didn't see,
The one thing so much worse than this,
That rocks me to the core,
Is the only time they talk to me,
Is to say "You should speak more".
