Cut me off
Shut me up
Don’t want to hear it
You want to be heard
What about me?
Why can’t I speak too?
I hear you all the time
When do I get a say?
I have to insert between your pauses
Only a little time to be heard
Even then, you barely listen
Your attention elsewhere
Your focus is so off my topic
You refuse to change course
I don’t feel free to speak
Words shackled in my throat
No chance to escape
I am so tired of being silenced
