powerful words within empty voices


Why is it not always enough to speak,

the words are still the same are they not?

The words that I speak always seem to fall short of powerfull,

powerful words spoken by a weak voice make for something to be tuned out.

I tend to not speak aloud on any matters bigger thatn the weather due to this. 

I speak with my pen, or my keyboard,

about any issue or thought with depth past how the air makes your skin feel as it kisses it. 

When I write I know that if one is to read it, then I am not being tuned out.

Someone is listening to me when they read my words, as opposed to when I speak them. 

I have a tendecny to not share my words wether writtne or not, due to uncertainty and fear.

If someone reads my work then they are listening, and if they are listening,

they might figure out what my words are actually saying. 

And that is petrifying.
