Silence
May 6, 2009
I don't know
If I can stand it
Any longer.
My voice,
My opinion,
starys trapped within
this fragil body.
If I do not speak soon
I shall surely parish.
My tounge is begining to losen
The words flow slightly easier.
Many times I am silent still
Though now I think,
I can bare it.

Hey, I was browsing Teen Ink and I came across your poem. I like how the poem is almost--but not quite--lyrical. This truly brought the "silence" to life. Great job :)
