Finding My Voice ( collab )

by Baby Rainbow & Naughtymouse   Sep 15, 2012


Programmed not to speak out loud,
it's hard to break the habit.
A lonely voice hides deep inside
in a darkened box of shadows.
Sometimes I think I hear it cry,
desperate to be heard.
Sometimes I think I even hear
echo's of it's weak whispers.

I can sit alone and imagine,
this voice breaking free.
Chasing off the demons which constantly stifles my tongue.
Thoughts and emotions no longer caged within, free, as free as any other to smile and laugh and love, as free as the pen that writes my dreams.

Hold on, lost voice,
for I am listening to you.
The ears of the future
will know of what you feel,
because you will tell them so
with the loudness in your tone.
Keep those whispers coming
and I will help them grow.
Feel the release as you let go
and scream from your clogged lungs.
Show the world that you are here
and will not be forgotten.

    I really enjoyed this collab! It felt like there was only one author, yet the voices varied and kinda wove some interesting patterns around each other, to a point that it added an entire new element to such a type of writing. The style was fantastic. The word choice was interesting, oh no, not a bad interesting an amazing interesting. An interesting with power that made this piece even more phenomenal than it already was.

    I think the way you addressed the piece to your words and thoughts (not literally, but thats how it felt to me) was an excellent idea. This piece has stood out to me in more ways than one, and is now on its way to my favorite poems list.

    Magnificent write, I really really enjoyed it.

    5/5 of course.

    Saffie Daffie I loooveddd that you opened up in this piece and wrote what you struggled with... Ben is such a wonderful collab partner isn't he? Kind of makes it easier to write when you have someone elses words to bounce off of as well.

    Lovedddd
    "ears of the future"
    and
    "clogged lungs"

    Interesting lines!

    What I love most is the ending two lines. Leaving off on a positive note, thats always good to read after a poem that is written with clear frustration.

    Well done you two :)
