~Slivered words~

Contributed by shelby on Tuesday, 24th June 2008 @ 04:31:24 AM in AEST
Topic: EmotionalPoetry



I wish you would open your ears to things beyond yourself

~I dare not speak on thoughts or feelings buried deep within~
~Knowing when those thoughts are pronounced they fall on depth ears~

~What happened to the time when everyones voice was heard~?
~Instead of being waved away and told that you are absurd~.

~Emotions and idea's all kept locked up tight, knowing if I say a word,
~it will oft be smitten and struck like a small ball, to fly high into the sky.~

~Thus it may be forever that when I speak it is in slivered words~.
~Backing off subjects or remaining silent, wishing to be heard~.

~Forgive me for having my own emotions, thoughts and feeling too~
~Forgive me for not always having the same thoughts that the rest do~

~Maybe the problem doesn't lay with me, it could be that those few, just do not want to see~
~A world from a different perspective or per chance maybe I could be right~.

~So within me I keep those thoughts buried deep inside~
~The key to the gateway is locked, once in awhile speaking in slivered words~

Wow..grrlfriend.... this could be about me....

~Backing off subjects or remaining silent, wishing to be heard~.

~Forgive me for having my own emotions, thoughts and feeling too~
~Forgive me for not always having the same thoughts that the rest do~

~Maybe the problem doesn't lay with me, it could be that those few, just do not want to see~

Lovely words, my friend...

I think that so many of us can relate to what you have written here...I know that I can. I think your entire poem can fit perfectly into what has been going on with me personally. This was deep and heartfelt...and it was brilliantly written.

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
