Sensory Overload

You overhear adults mentioning your name
They say aloud that that kid is just not right
They never knew you, and they never would
Nor understood your life or understood why
They said "you scare me" and ignored you
Saying you were never worth it, attention
You try living quietly, no sound allowed
You refuse to speak for their pleasure
You won't be what they want you to be
Never trying to understand reasons why
But you are silent, but few know them
You've been alone since the beginning 
Sound pierces your mind, it will lead
To beatings, never stop, they never stop
Mock me, you don't care, no one has tried
You'll live the rest of your life, being quiet
Speaking will lead to the fists of wrath
Makes my ears bleed, and the new attacks
