The Mute
Location
I have a name that keeps me blameless
still most ignore what I can bless
No one wishes to get to know me
especially my personality
My guardians had to leave me too
and most people usually do
The cursed life I have to live everyday
silences everything that I have to say
I am forced to live down and alone
until the moon is lit by the night’s glow
Then I am freed to speak the truth
no more surrounded by such ruth
Yet no one is around to listen
they only look when the sun glistens
Although the light shines their way
it leaves me with nothing left to say
Some wise old men surround my home
in order to not make me feel so alone
If only you knew what I knew
then you would be a mute too
Everyone is quick to shoo me away
ignoring the good I can say
I am mute so they can scream
I am silent so they can sin
But still no one ever stops to ask
why I hide behind this noiseproof mask
the cure to my curse is serenity
I am your conscious and you are me
