Voiceless




voiceless

sometimes your screams
manifest into tiny whispers
inaudible even to your self

where once your yelps and barks
filled  empty rooms
now only silence weighs down  your thoughts

it is in this stillness,
where the truth you so heart fully sought
appears.

the darkness may appear all encompassing
but with enough time and patience
even in these shadows
your eyes will once again see,

and your murmurings will
once again
sound like the voice you felt you had lost.

  1. Hey Mr. R (don’t know how to spell your full last name :D )
    I think that this is a neat poem, the first and second paragraph remind me of when our class is talking and Mr. Fisher tell us to e quiet :P , and then after he says that I usually buckle down and get my work done, once I am done my work it feels good, because now I can do what I want, and it makes me feel smart, I think that that kind of sounds like the last paragraph. Cya later :D

  2. Wow..that was deep. My eyes popped out just by reading it. I wish you could teach our poetry unit. I don’t feel that our new teacher can do what you can.

  3. Hey Mr. R, I was afraid after you resigned that you wouldn’t post anymore, I was really missing your dramtic words of advice. Anyhoo, love the poem very deep and full of sad emotion!

  4. Hi Mr.R
    I love the poem. When I write poetry, it’s always simple. No big worlds or anything. When I read someone else’s they always have ,as I put, poetic words. So that’s why I love to read them but I fell if my own poems are powerless, but still many say they can understand my emotions. This is just I thought I had to share.
    Anyway I love this poem. Especially the second stanza. It’s how I’m feeling these days.
    Thanks for posting, it makes us feel your still here.

  5. this morning i had something like a sugar rush except with laughing and I was laughing at the stupidest things………. i lost my voice but that is probably not what you meant :)
