To be still

To be silent

To be mindless and quiet

It is not human 

We aren't meant to have hushed thoughts

In my mind I shout and scream at what you say

But not out loud

I just sit and stare

mindless 

quiet

nodding my head as if I agree

still silent

  mindless 

quiet

The ideal child

Yet when I do as you ask

You 

Shame me 

Judge me

Accuse me

And what do I do?

Do I yell?

Scream?

No.

I sit there 

And stare 

silent mindless

and 

quiet
