Silence of the Man

Inner reflections at this moment

Silence of the Man

Why speak words when you can feel me

Why say something when you can see

I hurt, I ache the want of something true

Shattered dreams of my insanity I drew

I've come to realize I am age drawn spent

Of the time I invested and words I lent

People care less how a heart can behold

They will sit and condemn in ten fold

My voice is just a whisper a fragile course

With no more power and age without force

My hand and my heart know of much gain

Yet in proving the fact is taking its strain

A plea for acceptance of who I am today

Seems avoiding and hardship in many play

I can't help but withdraw alone in cell

Mind withers thoughts of my living hell

As I hide beneath my feelings here you are courage within your words....

I think it's sad but somehow it makes you move forward. Or maybe I'm just speaking for myself haha .. anyhow, great job!

Some good poetry today. Sometime all we have is silence. Life lead us to dead-end and few changes. The poem open the door to long conversation with no real answers. Thank you for sharing the excellent poetry.
