Deaf Ears, Silent Voice

A girl walks down.
A boy walks out.
What does she say?
What does he shout?
You can't take it all with a grain of salt.
All these things just don't add up.
One out of three, so saddening.
Seventy eight an hour over a day.
No excuses, no explanation.
A world of deaf ears make a voice silent.
Trust is one of our only defeats.
Beneath our skin, walls created taller than us.
An awkward silence explaining her recovery.
A pin drops, pick it up, an excuse for pausing.
You can't take it all with a grain of salt.
All these things just don't add up.
One out of three, so saddening.
Seventy eight an hour over a day.
No excuses, no explanation.
A world of deaf ears make a voice silent.
