Forbidden WordsA Poem by Emily RobinsonIf I were to write a Hip Hop or Rap song, these are the lyrics.
Use a word five times in a sentence and it loses it’s meaning As if a word could encompass all that you are feeling You are sad because your hopes fell through Broken up because of nasty things that people do What if that word you use could be… replaced with silence? Moments of peace to overcome… these verbal acts of violence? What if the chaos that exists within your heart,… could be diminished? as these words of wrath fall apart… fall apart…fall apart? What if those walls you built… suddenly became broken? A fracture letting in… the One who is outspoken? You’re afraid because of what this might mean But wouldn’t peace be better than all this suffering? © 2008 Emily Robinson |
