Chalkboard

My voice must be like nails on a chalkboard
Everything I say makes you wince
No matter how quietly or loudly I speak
It's ignored
So I havent felt like talking since

Welcome to Poetry Soup. I welcome you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." The Lord's blessings be with you.
