Silent and Tortured

My first experience with the day of silence

I sit here in silence 
Listening to other conversations 
  
"Having a day for gay people is stupid" 
"I hate gay People" 
"They are a disease" 

I can't speak
I'm clawing and screaming on the inside 

To be silenced 
Never feels good 

I never realized 
Just how much is said around me 
Until I stopped saying anything at all 

I was 
Silent and tortured
