Diversions: Distant Voices

I am a voice among voices
Lost in the corner of my mind
I scream for attention
But no one listens
I am drowned out by the others
My being is controlled by others
But I still insist on being heard
I will be heard

I was forced to learn their language
I was forced to learn their ways
I have resisted
But I am only one voice among many

My new masters trained me well
But I am not broken
I will not be quiet
All I need is time
Time that I don't have

I cry out "NO!"
But I am not heard
I hear myself saying
"Aspirin. Best we can do."
