The Mute

The Mute

"I could never make sense to them...

''If only I could find someone... who understood.''"

Well, as a child I mostly spoke inside my head.

Had coversations with the clouds, the dogs, the dead.

'''And they thought me broken, that my tounge was coated lead. '''

But I just couldn't make my words make sense to them.

'''If you only listen with your ears... I can't get in.'''

And I spent my evenings pulling stars out of the sky.

'''And I'd arrange them on the long where I would lie. '''

'''And in the wind I would taste the dreams of distant lives and I would dress myself in them through the night. '''

'''While my folks would sleep in seperate beds... wonder why.'''

'''And through them days I was a ghost upon my chair. '''

My dad consider me a cross he had to bear.

And in my head I'd sing apologies and stare as my mom would hang the cloths across the line.

'''And she would try to keep the empty... from her eyes.'''

So then one afternoon I dressed myself alone.

I packed my pillow case with everything I owned.

And in my head, I said good-bye, then I was gone and I set out on the heels of the unknown.

So my folks could have a new life of their own.

'''And then maybe I could find someone.. '''

'''who could hear all the words... '''

that I know...

Authors Note
This is a songfic for my new story that's coming out (clearly)... hopefully soon. I was actually planning to make this after I was well into the story, but I just love this so much and the character I'm using so I decided to do it now!

So... uhh I guess this is sort of a sneak peak type of thing...? It takes place in the past (of the story, ya know) but you probably get the idea. This doesn't really have much to do with warriors, but it's quite similar.Anyway, I've been trying to think of possible plots for this story for... probably six or eight months now, and i've finally decided on this! I might make a comic for it on paper but who knows.

I guess if you're curious about this story, you can ask me questions in the comments. I hope you enjoyed it!
