Poetry that thinks out loud

UNHEARD

I speak, but I cannot be heard

For no one here can hear a word

And here, in this crowd, I'm alone

In speaking terms I'm on my own.

No matter if I shout or yelp

No one around can offer help

For they can't hear a word I say

As they all go about their day.

But from the crowd a man appeared

And looked at me, but rather weird.

He watched my lips as I spoke out

I did not even need to shout.

The crowd so loud, but still he knew

He took my hand and helped me through

And all the words that I had said,

He never heard, but read instead.
