    Deaf Ears


    “How can I hear you

    when I can’t hear god”

    Mute.

    Drowned in the silence.

    Deaf to the world around me.

    Your words fell upon deaf ears

    tucked away to avoid your wrath.

    Ignorance became bliss and silence

    became the sound of choice.

    I couldn’t bear to hear the wrongs.

    So, self-inflicted pain took away the

    obligation to hear you making me deaf to

    all things.
