Poet: I cannot give my words a voice


I cannot give my words a voice

I am shamed by my thoughts

Thoughts I do not believe others will understand

I remain silent

Longing to know if others feel as I

Too shy to shout – here I am

My words have no voice

Will you be my voice

Will you give my words life

I need a voice, my words are my voice

 What is being a Poet?

…poems and prose from now back to teen years
…remembering a first writing love
…pumping the creative well yet again
…silencing the internal critic
