The Words Of Reality MAG
June 27, 2008
Today I’m trying to find my voice
My pen sliding around the paper
Making the words I’m too afraid to say
Daring the world to not accept me
For my voice, although far too small
Is writing who I can’t be
And the sad thing is that I’ve found my voice
Buried between these familiar horizontal lines
And just as if I say it,
I hear the words that I’m afraid of
The words that make me cower in fear
The words of reality
And of those who just don’t care

That is my favourite poem on here and trust me i've read alot of them. i think it sums up alot of people's lifes when they dont have the words to explain how they feel. i know it's not easy to write poems but i find they come easily to me when i'm unhappy. i could tell you to keep writing but you should just write when somethinq comes to you . dont force thouqhts out of yourself. this poem is absolutly amazinq !
