When my words are broken
When they turn wrong

When they go unheard to ears
When questions are left unanswered

In fear of laughter and hate
Disappointment spread
From friends to teachers till parents
Who set curfew to my happiness
Disappointed me pour myself
Switching my language to colours
Telling canvas with tears and pigments
Asking them why can't I spell right
Why does it hold me from expressing
When all I needed was ears to listen
