I Have No Voice

I Have No Voice

I Speak

I am not heard

I whisper softly

I am not listened to

I speak Louder

Nobody hears a word I say

I YELL, I hope louder will help

He turns his back and walks away

I am not listened to.

I express an opinion

He tells me how my opinion is wrong

I back up my opinion with logic

He degrades me with sarcasm

I back my opinion up with facts

He belittles me by being passive-aggressive

I tell him how we can integrate our two opinions

He can only see his opinion is right and mine is wrong

I have no opinion.

I say words

My words are not listened to

I give opinions

My opinions are thrown aside

I have tried in every way possible

To be heard

To whisper

To yell

To talk

To listen first

To express with deep feeling

I am left with NOTHING

I HAVE NO VOICE

I am nothing.

What does it feel like to be in a marriage where you are not allowed to work, to speak you mind, to be an equal? This is what it feels like. Thank god I am out.
