The Paper Voice
I'm not mute
Though my lips are silent.
Not cruel
Though my thoughts turn violent.
I don't agree
When I have nothing to say.
My mind rebels
When my feet obey.
You ask for my thoughts
Yet they feel unheard.
My throat stops me.
My mouth spills not a word.
Get to my room. Close the door. Face the night.
Pull out a pen. Drain my mind under moonlight.
What I can't say, how I feel, what I know
I write it all down, pen to paper...
By the window.
