You are muted.
Not because of physical inability, rather because of human emotions.
Say anything: boom. Damned.
Don't say anything: slowly watch yourself wither away.
Like a ticking time bomb of restrained emotions, questions, fear, and lies that just ache to come into the light.
But you're muted.
You can't say a single thing.
We try and say thats on you. You're the only one responsible for you.
But how true is that?
Why are you like that?
Is it not because of what we've done?
Is it not because of how act and react?
You're muted not because you necessarily want to be muted.
Although sometimes it is true bliss.
You're muted because you've been taught to be muted.
You've been taught to not offend.
You've been taught that even when you speak truth, if you speak it: it's wrong.
So you're muted.
We've made you into a mute.
No more joy in your voice.
No more songs of praise.
All because we didn't want to hear the truth.
You've been muted.
