Ayesha Iqbal Poet Verse

I Have A Voice

Behind these clenched jaws
and dagger-in-the-heart smiles
I have a voice

Behind the silent soft eyes
and lingering sadness in my being
I have a voice

Behind my pen that scribbles poems
for hearts in love or drowning in devastating doom
I have a voice

Behind the tints of pain in my ink
I feel for far and near
I have a voice

Behind all my words
said and unsaid, written and unwritten
I have a voice

Behind all that I seem
every judgement you make to break
I have a voice

If you knew, what I believe
you would know, I have a voice
Only if you opted to really listen

Silent One December 1, 2023 at 4:15 AM It is sad when we feel we are not heard and feel invisible.. sadly so many will relate to this one.. I could feel the emotions in your words that have been expressed from deep within your heart.. I hope you find your voice and they begin to listen...
