Silenced Poems - Poems about Silenced

When grief became a shadow
When grief became a shadow It felt as if nothing else mattered Like a sudden darkness Raining down upon us Like sucking the light from our eyes Like a wound opened multiple times It follows you like a stalker Creepily walking behind you Keeping an eye on your every moment And when you think you outsmarted it When you take a deep breath...

The Silenced Voices Of Pakistan
She walked with dreams in her gentle eyes, A future lit beneath morning skies. But shadows crept where light should stay, And stole her breath, her hopes, away. Sawera’s name, now etched in pain, A flower drowned beneath the rain. Not by fate, not by some twist, But by hands that evil kissed. What justice lies in silence kept? While mothers grieve, and sisters...

A Melody Silenced
Ignored by my children Especially my daughter Taken for granted Taking up space Living unnoticed My pain front and center Checking off boxes That never erase Knowing she loves me More now than ever My face a reminder Of greatness long past My voice the last vestige Of songs sung together A melody silenced When first —became last (The New Room: January, 2024) ...

Premium Member Fall's Silenced Soliloquy
Desperation clings to the branch Wrestling with a frightened leaf Begging a howling wind for more Wondering why one leaf would fight The wind abates, she sits alone Desperation clings to the branch Weeping in the hoar frost darkness Beneath a cold, uncaring moon Where had the color gone, the songs the nesting birds, chirping crickets Desperation clings to the branch In Fall’s silenced soliloquy An inexperienced...

Thinking in the, Absence of silence. A droplet of ink, Can make millions think Thinking in the Absence of this silence. Silence is being answered, From questions that have Never asked? It is silence, You do get Pearls of Wisdom Thickens, be it said. Don't plan on being helped, For help has gone silent When this book, sitting here On the shelf, silenced.

Premium Member I Will Not Be Silenced
I will not be silenced, we have no right to kill the innocents The Seventh Commandment says, “You shall not murder!” I am saying we have no right to these instruments of murder, for assault-style weapons are manufactured solely for killing. When we go deer hunting, do we take an assault weapon? I think not! We take the appropriate gun...

Open the Floodgates
Locked up in stares Silence is the teacher Spread in bed Time should forgive us You caress my troubles An invitation to my pleasures You awaken my senses Despite my inner seizures  Your thrusts pound on the exterior Body gestures for improvement Attentive but less spoken You deliver to my inner My sounds, your melody Your touch, my symphony Hands where...

Untill She Finds the Strength To Speak Again
A drag of another cigarette the nicotine courses through my veins, It's not dope but it'll have to do, it's true the effects are not the same, It distinctively lacks the same power, same danger, the elation of the adrenaline and euphoria, Instead, I'm left to exhale smoke filled self-pity, Envy causing my mute mind...
