My voice is not meant to be heard, And although we preach freedom of speech, I am constantly silenced, Every letter I've carefully strung together, Will never see the light of day, Rejected if not misconstrued, Many have taken my words out of context, Blowing things out of proportion, That sometimes I feel perhaps I'm the one lacking imagination, Maybe I'm just purely feelings and emotion, For which I constantly bite my tongue, Keeping the pain within my lungs, Hoping to ease the minds of those around, Forgetting completely that writing is my sanctum.
