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

Aww thank you Tom.. it was just a metaphor for the "voice". Hope we all would be able to raise our voice whenever it's most needed. I am glad you gave this a read!

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...
