I write what I cannot speak Words - held captive in the depths of my soul slowly, silently, suffocating Words - I'm afraid of saying out loud Words - hiding my heart desires my fears, my despair, my hope I know this to be true when they are heard by others They will be judged I will be judged I've learned this over time It's safest to keep my words imprisoned - out of sight in the dungeons of my soul But they keep crying out needing to be heard Crying out in the still of the night Words - heard only by me It's in these moments when their voice Is louder than I can bear It's in these moments I write to you - in secret I write to you - my words that cannot be spoken Stanley Arumugam Sandton 26th April 2013

Unspeakable Words
I write what I cannot speak Words - held captive in the depths of my soul slowly, silently, suffocating Words - I'm afraid of saying out loud Words - hiding my heart desires my fears, my despair, my hope I know this to be true when they are heard by others They will be judged I will be judged I've learned this over time It's safest to keep my words imprisoned - out of sight in the dungeons of my soul But they keep crying out needing to be heard Crying out in the still of the night Words - heard only by me It's in these moments when their voice Is louder than I can bear It's in these moments I write to you - in secret I write to you - my words that cannot be spoken Stanley Arumugam Sandton 26th April 2013
