Taciturn


Taciturn A voice Rarely heard Speaking but a word A voice In solitary silence Screaming into the quiet A voice Wanting to say anything and everything But too scared to speak A voice In the distance Is a whisper but a shout from near A voice Wants to be heard But too nervous to find words A voice Full of pain Covered by a smile A voice Trying to make it all better Feeling like it made everything worse A voice Slipping away Locking away the sound A voice Tired of its own silence Opening its mouth to speak A voice Rarely heard Ready to speak A voice Becoming louder Until it reaches the sky A voice No longer silent It will be heard.
