I am Mercury but I cannot convey my feelings to you A communicator talking to a brick wall I speak and you hear a foreign language You are deaf to my words Oblivious to my feelings One more roll of your eyes I cannot stand When did you stop listening? When did you stop remembering? When did it become okay to disrespect me? When did I become such an irritant? I am rendered speechless Frightened now to use my words fearing they will be misconstrued and weaponized to fight against me
