I spit words like fire from a blow torch Flames singeing the air like they singe your soul. I whisper words like secrets from hushed voices Murmurs fill the silence like crushing water to a sinking ship. I sing words like colorful birds from dense forests Sweet melodies ringing like church bells from churches. I rhyme words like nursery school teachers Tee’s and two’s and me’s and you’s. I laugh words like children from ***** playgrounds Giggles chiming in the rays of swollen sunlight. I scream words like angry sirens saving the ****** Flickering blue and red lights like beacons of hope. I gossip words like filthy false rumors circulating the grapevine Untrue words that hurt like a right hook to the jaw. I flirt words like coy like touches to your open heart Persuading you with my talented charm. I concede words like hidden meanings in secret code Like unwritten rules and unspoken feelings. I brave words with harsh undertones like I’m bitter Saying exactly what I think and feel, no holding back. My voice is strong, My voice is true, My voice is my own, and I will let it be heard.
