Porcelain eyes

By silentninja

One word after another
Words are just thrown at me
Through one ear and out the other
I'm sooo not interested in this conversation

'Just smile and nod'
Thats all i do
Have you noticed the issue here yet?
I never smile
And yet it is seen as a purpose to continue your conversation

Last thing I said was
"I'm tired I want to sleep"
And you start talking
So I emplore you to please stop

The porcelain expression in my eyes must be hint of sorts
I just sit there with a glazed expression

You do not even know that I am thinking of vanishing
If I close my eyes tight enough it might just work
Fuck, I'm still here

Should I swear at you
When my disbility is my enemy
Should I shout at you
When I cant face the truth
Should I make you cry
For something you never did

No, I'm tired.  I can wait for the silence.
