today
i feel quite
small
surrounded
by giants

i stand
in their
footprints
large enough
to contain
my entire
world

my voice
a simple
squeaking
in the
cacophony
of voices
yelling
to be heard

my mouth
is wired shut
but my eyes
say everything
fluttering lashes
loving you
as the clambering
hoardes
swallow my
unspoken
declarations
