Muted

You muted me
in speech and in color.

 

You turned me grayscale,
a diluted version of myself.

 

I have never found
my voice again.

 

I am not as bright
as I once was.

 

Was I too loud for you?

 

Did my light blind you?

 

I hope you are satisfied
knowing what you turned me into...

 

a faded human being,
growing dimmer every day.
