My Name is Melody Brooks

I can’t talk

I can’t even walk

I can’t even hold my books

No one knows what’s inside my head

My name is Melody Brooks.

 

I have thousands of words

They’re circling my mind

I don’t know what to do

It feels like a crime.

 

I hear them

I hear the silent screams in my head

No one else knows

Because they all think I’m braindead.

 

Please don’t judge me

Don’t think that you know me

Don’t give me that look

I’m proud of who I am

My name is Melody Brooks
