Emeka Mokeme Poet ABC

I Would If I Could

No one understands 
how much all 
of these feelings 
ravaging my life 
make me feel. 
I can't explain it 
or how much pain, 
loneliness and confusion 
it caused made
me feel at times. 
It made me mute. 
I can't tell it, 
even if I could.
It seems to paralyze me, 
made me weary. 
My mouth cannot tell it, 
for my heart hurts. 
It can't be explained, 
I would if I could. 
I can only keep quiet, 
hoping it will pass away. 
I am amazed and perplexed 
at the impact of that force 
on my own spirit.
In my imperfections,
truth manifested. 
In weakness, 
his strength, 
again, 
made perfect.
Within my silence, 
I found wisdom.
In my bondage,
i discovered freedom. 
It is a lesson learned in life.
