this voice of mine was designed
to be written, not spoken
to be read, not heard

but we seem to live in a society where
to be seen, you have to be loud
and they say written words can't shout

and so I shall forever remain
invisible

but only to those
who keep their eyes closed
to choose to be blind is to choose to only hear a fraction of those who wish to speak

What I prefer is a paradox
I prefer flowers,
but I am not the kind of girl that you give them to.
I prefer to come alive at night,
yet I'm afraid of the dark.
I prefer to have a blank mind,
but most of the time thy does not happen.
I prefer to talk
but I say nothing important.
I prefer having a wild heart
but I'm trapped in a cage.
I prefer being full of love
but I won't give it anymore.
I prefer blue eyes
yet I fell for brown.
I prefer my own company
yet I hate being alone.
I prefer being complicated
but I'm easy to figure out.
I prefer to walk,
but I want to be swept off my feet.
I prefer oxygen,
but he takes my breath away.
I prefer black
yet like yellow.
Silence is golden
but I prefer silver.
I prefer noise in a world that is deaf yet I remain

silent.

I can run for miles,
My reaction time is flawless,
My aim with a gun is accurate;
But I cannot fight.

I have national pride,
A desire to defend my people,
A survivors instinct;
But I cannot fight.

I am young enough to join,
Old enough to know discipline,
Old enough to be mature;
But I cannot fight.

Being deaf kinda ***** sometimes.
There are no military jobs in the UK for people who have a hearing impairment. I used to dream of being a soldier as a kid. Cruelly ironic huh?

Both my ears
are hearing musics
with maximum volume
in this big dark room
filled with people
dancing and kissing

good thing I am
not able to hear
the sound of my heart
breaking

Loud minds in the silent chapel,
Echoes of desperate prayers.

Hope settled in their seeing eyes.
Words that their ears, caught not.

I see the birds
Flying high and low
In this beautiful morning sun

I'm sure they'll be singing
And chirping away
Waking at this time of day

I see the river nearby
Shining brilliantly of silver whites
Splashes in the glorious sun

Im sure the humming
sounds so marvellous
With some bubbles perhaps?

I see two dogs playing on the grass
Their teeth showing
Rolling on their backs, getting dirt

I'm sure they'll be barking playfully
Sounds of happiness
While I watch them play

The leaves by my side
Moves endlessly
The colourful flowers opens up wide

I'm sure there'll be sounds of rustling
While the winds rushes
Picking the pollens as they go

I see all the beautiful surroundings
But I hear no sounds
Making my day so quiet

I see with my eyes
And use my eyes to hear
Making the most of it

My ears are no use to me
For I am deaf as a post
My eyes are my ears

What I see are beautiful
And the silence don't stop that
I let the imagination go wild

Silence deafens the weak and the lonely,
So does it deafen you, my good man?
Poetic T May 2015
Burn the one that flies with the raven of midnight hair,
Words in concussive form. altering thoughts of those
Fed syllables of meaning who were under the influence.

No longer a puppet, they are now consumed by what
Expels those corruption. Fire cleanses their body, mind
Purification of  the soul of impurities of word.

She was the whisperer of old moments forgotten, but
Spoken in her diluted tongue, but those of uninformed
Words, silence their saviour, a weapon against word.

They rallied before us, language of hand silent words,
She spoke to no avail, her tongue mesmerizing, but
Weakness to the silent tongue, shackled, sealed, silent.

We were of weakness to even a whisper, but they watched,
Governed over the wordless power. She did burn that night,
And as did so, ravens feathers fell like ash upon the floor.
