My voice

I don't let the words choke me up


because I eat them up and spit them out


People hold their tongue to avoid a corrupt


relationship but that sh** went up and out.. the window


of open opportunity to change a mind, a soul, a heart


a desire to change or make a fresh start


 


...funny


You don't get a fresh start when you are already in the race of life


well I guess this why I write


to start over in my mind and feel like my life is new


but in reality its an ugly truth


 


When i say I write, I speak in simple terms


In reality I speak with a silent voice


that can only be heard by the eyes of the reader who dares to observe the words that clasp the declaration of my independence because my mind is free and my voice is heard


most think because I am small that I make little noise


my words are even bigger than my voice I speak


I guess they weren't expecting my roaring little squeak


 


I write such words with a simple pen and blue ink


my fingers, yes


they go to work they paint


they paint the paper with colorful blasphemy of words like a canvas creating Mona Lisa and that beautiful smile


 


That same smile that shows on my face after a while 


when I am done writing this to whom it may concern


sitting and writing this poem on that number 9 cloud, I feel


my rights, my freedom, my voice in which I think I have earned


 


This is my voice and it has been heard
