Mute
By: Adam M. Snow

 

Armed with a tongue, I dare not speak;
my voice alone is why I'm weak.
I ripped it out to hurt no more,
silent now forevermore.

Simple, tragic, and moving - wonderful job, thanks for sharing!

[Southern Cross]

Great work..so much said in so few words

[R J Askew]

'Armed with a tongue' is a brilliant line. We can easily forget how sharp we can be.

[VelvetRosetta]

Excellent!

[Emily Dickinson Jr.]

short yet strong! a very compelling work

[Clockwork]

I think you touched on something that is a problem for many people. Sometimes it is so difficult to put sentences together because you never know how someone is going to reacts. Thus, we conclude that it is better not to say anything at all. However, our voice has the ability to heal others with kind words.

The first line of the poem is what stands out most. It is a really strong line which conveys a great deal about the situation the speaker faces. Overall, it is my favorite line.

Reminds me of a story I once read...a man had his tongue cut out to keep himself from talking...it was to win a bet...it ended badly...
