VOICE OFF

She could not speak

Her voice trapped inside her chest

She could not speak

She could not bread

She could not dream

So many voices on her head

None of them was hers at all

So many things to do everyday

None of them to feel at all

She could not speak

Her soul trapped inside her void  

She could not speak

She could not feel

She could not live

So many tears on her heart everyday

None on her eyes at all

So many smiles on her face all day long

None of them on her soul at all

She could not speak

She could nor cry

She could not smile

Voiceless living

Made out of rules

Empty of live
