I, a mistake

Why am I still here?

A question only I can answer

Or maybe I can’t

I speak directly,

It’s a mistake

For what I say is unaccepted

And therefore wrong

I speak in riddles,

It’s a mistake

For no one likes the message

Though they may understand

I yell, a mistake

For hush, I am too loud

I talk, a mistake

For they cannot hear

I know for I have tried

Oh have I tried

Now I do not speak at all,

A mistake but I no longer live at all

Why am I still alive?

I can hear no one

For when I stopped speaking

Listening won’t matter

Vice versa
