Everything Crystal Writes

Voice (Poetry)

Silenced

Unable to speak for myself

My melodic sound censored

Turned off with your decisions

Never ask me for my opinion

Mine doesn’t matter, does it?

The only opinion of importance was yours

Which silently communicated my importance

I was never a consideration

A mere courteous conversation was not even a thought

It was only ever about you

So while my voice was silenced,

Your resolve was shouting loud and clear to me

I was never in the care of someone who respected me

The loathing you have for me

The need to control me

The fear of me – 

As you should be

Because if you were to allow me to speak,

You would have to endure my wrath

A wrath that would be warranted and justifiable

So silence me and run away

You have much to fear

Because my scream will be colossal 

Allowing me to move mountains and cut valleys

Bringing you to your knees

All while begging for mercy

Knowing I hold all the power

Enjoy my silence while you can

Don’t dare remove my muzzle
