My Voice

"I don't want to hear your voice"

Is it really THAT bad?

Yes.

So, I mumble unintelligible sounds

Too quiet to be heard

Hoping you can't unwant to hear

What you can't hear me say

In the forced silence, I write

Hoping my words SCREAM from the page

Without the thoughts you invoked

or the silence I was made to fill

Without the struggle you put me through

There wouldn't be such strong emotions to distill

I'm grateful you didn't want to hear

MY VOICE

For I wouldn't be where I am today

Sharing my silent screams

Overcoming all of my yesterdays

Living out all my dreams

I now have something you can't touch

If you had only felt how much I truly loved
