No Sound

Sat, 04/23/2016 - 19:08 -- lululiz

They see soft eyes above a soft smile.

 

They see a quiet thin body holding a quiet thin person.

 

They see innocence

And they see obedience.

 

Some see a smile,

While some see a frown.

 

They perceive no sound

And they look no deeper than the surface.

 

Because they think they see all

And they think they know all

 

But what,

I wonder,

Has made them so sure?
