"talking too loudly..." Found Poetry

In silence
Head was splintered
Thoughts pressed an insistent finger
A murmur
After midnight
Let me call!
There's something wrong
I'm
tied
up

*I uncapitalized the title on purpose, so don't think I have grammar..*
I decided to draw a person in a straight jacket because something in this poem made me think of someone protesting and speaking their mind, but a higher force of authority decides their opinion is not valid and they should rid society of someone who decides to stand out.  This symbolized conforming to me and the consequences of not doing so.  The words "in silence" are placed over the subject's mouth because well, haven't I made that clear?
