my voice

My Voice

October 20, 2020 by Deanna Repose Oaks

“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
