My words...not yoursMature
a poem about repression
The mute speaks but no one listens
She praticed in the mirror and deleted all those anonying twiches
She was determined that there would be no misstep
But it's the same thing every time
She loses her nerve...
Such a mousy girl...
..............................................................................................................................
Why won't you just listen!
I'm talking
I know my lips are moving
And I can feel the vibraions in my chest
You asked me a question, but god damn it, your talking for me again!
I am not shy, I am not soft spoken
Those words are yours not mine
Why won't you let me be the me I see inside my head?
..........................................................................................................................
There's a canvas in my head I've left blank
When I,ve left your world of black and white
I will know color
I will know aura, sense and sound
I will taste an orange and know it's sweet
Until then i'll play your rules and wear your uniform...
...............................................................................................................................
She bows out
And it all fades to black
The curtain closes
and no sees her as an apparition in the dark...
