The Louder Voices


A natural, universal power came. 
 
Controlled by whispers and held back by mist, 
Cognitive function--needing relief--sometimes the smallest voices launch the louder ones back into oblivion. 
 
Warrior roars;
my relationship with the spoken word
is in total silence--
behind my pencil,
behind my keyboard,
albeit speaking volumes 
becoming a legend as no one sees my face;
they only (see) my words which tells enough--
pain, sorrow, happiness rains
under the umbrella of personal growth. 
 
Poetry leads,
gives a voice to the silent 
and acts as a bandaid to the broken--
 
my relationship started in the mirror,
I may no longer be broken, 
but I bleed the universe 
when I write.
