My voice has been taken away from me.
A pencil and paper are all they left me.

I sit with a soft solem face.
With no words to speak it.

A million thoughts flow through my head.
And yet I cannot speak them.

I will write what I am thinking.
In words will I show my thoughts.

In many letters I will speak of Love-
I will show you the way of pain.

On my paper I will wrtie of compassion-
Of feeling of the forbidden loneliness.

I can write the beautiful letter of hope-
A tear I will shed to my paper to show sadness.

In many words will I scream.
Yelling of the voice I lost...still silent.

Nicely done   It flowed really well.
Like they say, sometimes silence is the best answer.

And they always turn out so beautiful when written. I've realized lately that is much better to write your feelings than to say them...Because you can take more time on th writing...make them perfect.
I liked this alot. I've got alot of respect for you. You came in here and replied (Honest, thought out replies) before posting. I liked that. Hope to see more fomr you soon.

I thought this was ok. I completely understand the title and the meaning of this poem. Well said, but I felt it lacked some depth and power that I have seen in more of your works. Regardless, I did enjoy this poem.

I was born myself, raised myself, and will continue to be myself. The world will just have to adjust.
