not silenced

silenced

you cannot silence me

not with your sneer

not with your force

definitely not with your wit

cover my mouth

I will scratch out my missives to the world

bind my hands

my eyes can still sing my story

you cannot silence me

    I saw this morning and was blown away. I am back to look again, to re-read this poem. I have felt this way for a year or more – even told someone I felt this way, especially on my blog, feeling I should keep quiet about things when I didn’t want to, said I felt like I showed up to the door of my blog with my mouth duct-taped and my hands tied behind my back. I know, I know, a bit dramatic, but true – it drove me crazy. So I finally had to open my mouth, break through my own self-imposed silence, fearing consequences. Now? I feel free.

    THIS is amazing. YOU are amazing.

    Hi Debi, Thank you – the words just spilled out – I’ve been having my own tug of war with speaking my truth or just going with the blogging equivalent of small talk. I HATE small talk.
