A Silent World
by Izabella Lewandowski

Picture me standing alone, in a dark dark dungeon, a place with no way out.
No one has the heart to free me from such a deep, sorrowful, lonely hole.
Treating me unkind. As if I am dirty, dumb, and not worthy.
Everything's a confusing puzzle, a place no one would want to be in.
Just for a second I thought I felt someone's footsteps to the rescue...
Well that was only my stupid imagination wanting to be saved.
Oh wait! There's a light coming through, I havent seen the sun for such a long time.
Maybe someone wants to be my friend. Maybe somebody reaches out for me.
Before I took a step, they shut the light out on me. Their careless laughter
roaring. Feeling hundreds of miles away, thousands and thousands of
knives coming, attacking me.
I'm screaming inside, hello? anyone? help me here!
It's sooooo lonely here. Rainfall rolling down my cheek.
No one wants to be my friend... is it because I can't hear?
I'll change, I PROMISE!
I'm so terribly sorry I can't speak beautifully like you all can...
I'm trying; I'm asking for your patience.
Oh please accept me for who I am... not for what I DON'T have...
Hello Anyone?
I'd do anything to have a friend.
