I am a single voice.
A single voice in thousands.
How can I be heard
Over the clamor
Over the chaos
Over the turmoil
Of thousands of voices?
A spoken word
Can only say so much.
But the written word
Can say so much more.
They say a picture
Is worth a thousand words.
A poem
Is worth a million
A poem says what no one else can say,
And does what no one else can do.
A poem
Can reach
Beyond imagination,
To places in your heart,
Your mind,
Your being,
You didn’t know existed.
A poem
Can be anything

That is why I write.
