Speaking only hurts,
When words are not heard.
When they fall on deaf ears,
What use is a word?
Speaking only hurts,…
When it’s misunderstood;
With words twisted by flight,…
Speaking,…tell me why I should?
For most see with their sight,
And move along with the air,
Without a care,…..
……Without a single care.

Tongue-tied…
No words to find,
Within the reasoning of the mind.
Searching, searching, far and wide,
For ways to speak the words confined.
Confused.
The mouth sewn shut,
To seal the emulating smut.
Searching, searching; Chaos fused,
In pursuit of another cut.
Frustrated.
Letters lie lost,
Piercing out a bloody-cost.
Searching, searching,…motion-faded…
Lips present a scarlet, glossed.
Shed no tear,
And mourn no wrong,
For these days continue long.
Redemptions’ voice echoes here,
Speaking out of every wrong.
Tomorrow.
Another day seen,
In an ever-frightening glean.
For unspoken words of sorrow.
Ravage the flesh unclean.
No words,
No words to find,
Within the furor of the mind.
Searching, searching, the un-heards,
For a voice of humans’-kind.
