Communication

by Baby Rainbow   Oct 20, 2012


I have a voice:
I am capable of speech,
so why am I still silent?

Yesterday I managed to talk,
the day before that too,
but today my mouth won't open.

I try so hard to get involved
in everything around,
but miserably I fail.

People around me engaging conversation,
making me anxious and alone
because I know I can't reply.

Sitting behind a computer screen
watching my friends chat
and still I back away.

This curse I have is hard to break,
but yet I can feel it
breaking me.

I wish my voice would open up
especially today,
so I can just say hello
to the people I am starting to miss.

:/

    I remember us chatting yesterday and you said you were just lurking in the background...I get what you meant now. You are watching others chat away together and you want to join so badly yet you remain silent for certain reasons.

    I hope you are able to open up more and can communicate with your friends and peers you miss dearly soon.

    It's ironic how when it comes to poems we can fill pages and pages about how we feel and what we have to say, yet when it comes to actually talking to someone we find ourselves speechless for unknown reasons. we just stand still with nothing to say even if it breaks us down.. beautiful piece and so meaningful! loved it:)
