    Misunderstood.
      You cannot hear me, I cannot think, Thus I cannot speak, And so you cannot hear me. They say I am unthinkable. I've done unthinkable things. An unthinkable man, Child, unthinkable child, Just because I do not think, Cannot think, Like them. They who walk around at night. Touches flicker, But no angel comes. My friends cry. The English Italian Bird is dead, She cannot sing them to sleep. No one hears them, But me, But I cannot think, And so I cannot speak Out. I cannot help them, Though they cry.
A poem I wrote late at night, so I apologise that it's not the best. Something tells me its a bit like Wilfred Owen's Poem Mental Cases, so the character is suffering from shell shock due to the events of World War One, but from the patients perspective.
P.S. If you find any errors grammatical or spelling, please let me know.

It's good, but it's like surreal or something, I don't really understand the English Italian Bird thing, although you said it sounded much like a WWI shell shock type poem, that I could understand some metaphors.

Other than my confusion (which isn't important) it is very good!
Oh and scarlet-cullen, unstableness isn't a word, but it damn well should be!
