Have I always been muted as such?
Or have I developed the tendency,
Sickening reasoning, to withdraw
And be one, without meaning.
I have vacant eyes and a vapid mind—
Surely I am mostly blind.
If it wasn’t for my heart, the diamond
Hiding beneath my flesh… I would guess,
That I am not alive and that, I am,
An entity who has been born benign.
It is that instrument of evil,
That makes me wake, and entangles me,
Sourly intertwines me among fear,
Tangling my tongue as I beseech
For another moment to undo the knot.
It creates a being who is passive seeming,
And behaviour so bizarre that I am
Embarrassed to speak or seek, for a
Greeting or gallant remark.
Have I always been muted in this way,
Or has my tongue decided to hide as such?
