My name is Quiet Kasey,
My name is Whisper Joe,
My name is Shut-Up-Tony,
And I am all alone.

I am all the children,
Hiding in the house,
Everyone who's dead and gone,
Or quiet as a mouse.

Do you hear me singing?
My song may sound like tears.
For I can no longer speak,
I'm hiding with my fears.

And so I whisper to you,
"Do you know my name?"
Because I am Silence Sarah,
They say I'm quite insane.

My daddy didn't hear me,
I tried to call his name,
But I am Don't-Talk-Dylan,
My voice is kind of lame.

So when you're always talking,
Getting your own way,
Can you think of me?
The ones who never got a say.


The author's comments:
This was an interesting piece to write. It came during a random spazz of half-way decent poetry today, and I am quite happy with it. I don't quite understand what it means, even as the author, but I hope it leaves something positive with those who read it.
