No words, no communication, nothing. It’s hard to express yourself when others continually berate you, belittle you, emotionally and verbally abuse you. There’s no escape, even when looking into a mirror.

Inside
look into the mirror
finding a shell of a person
very pale, very shy
totally alone
in a crowded room
no words
no communication
spoken or heard
from the image
of what once was
a person
they called a loner
a disgrace
a burden to society
a burden to her family
and yet inside
I am
a shadow
of who I once was
probably could have been special
to someone
to anybody
to maybe even me
inside
no words
no communication
just something
that once was
but now is
smothered out
gone
