Speechless
May 15, 2014
Pull me in and drown me out.
Keep me quiet like a mouse.
Talk louder than I can shout.
Tie me up and hold me down.
Tape my mouth shut.
Muffle my screams with pillows.
Block my path to speak.
Sooner or later you will silence me.
Until you see that my speech is free.

An amazing poem! Very powerful and has deep meaning to it for something so short. I enjoyed it! And I hope others can see the power in it. Keep the good writing going. Live it!
