Lynn Hanna Barany Poet Light Verse

Angry Silence

There is an angry silence
In the corner of my soul,
It wasn't there when I was young,
But I feel it as I grow old.

It's a word that was not spoken
In my shyness, slipped away,
I should have made a statement
But silence with me stayed.

I don't like the feeling
That is left within my being,
I try to show my anger
But it's only pain I'm feeling.

I've tried many times 
To express my point of view,
Only to be told
You're nothing but a fool.

The only thing that I can say
Is when I need to take a stand,
Silence owner takes my soul
And shows my trembling hands.

Lynn (Hanna) Barany

Matthew Rozon August 19, 2017 at 11:58 PM I love how this poem really squeezes out all those emotions we all feel and makes it noticably easier to relate to feelings this poem gives that we all get....and it ends deep...what i might even be doing when my hands are trembling is writing a poem to get it out. A really good...sweet thoughful poem. Inspires me to write one...in fact i think i will right now. Ty for the inspiration. Btw i know your nefew george. He pointed me your way.
