Mute

With poetry
I am born
into a new
existence

Words be
the spark
that ignites
my soul

But anytime
you speak
from a place
that is not
your heart
you are
mute
to
me

Good one I like the brevity with such message.

Beautifully penned and the lines form what, to me, appears to be an arrow. I love the flow of this, so sad but hopeful. Well done Samantha.

Aww. This poem is beautiful. It's so sweet and sad at the same time. I like how you expressed emotion in this.

This was really good, Sam! I love how you practically demand that the person you're directing this toward speak directly from the heart or not at all. It is also pretty cool that the last stanza practically shapes into a heart; at least to me. Nice write, Sam.

I really enjoyed this poem. I feel like the majority of people I know have a false identity when they interact with others. I wonder if the world would be better or worse if everyone was sincere.

Thanks for sharing this!

I agree. I generally ignore those speaking from there rectum. Anyways, I enjoyed this. Something I strongly feel for.

I like the form and the last stanza. It's a very simple poem that says exactly what you want it to. I urge you to try and use images to depict your meaning and expand on the length. I'd like to see what you could do.
