Deaf Ears

Days like these are when I speak silent words
Tales of my experiences, they fall on deaf ears
Solace is far from grasp, experiences unheard
Empathy non-existent, solitary heart pierced
Smiles they breeze past, unaware and unperturbed
And I keep my eyes set on returning home near
The day when I know, when I am assured
That I won’t just be a shadow that people cannot hear
