I possess a voice
and I want to speak,
but verbal output
is not what I seek.
I posses a soul
that yearns to be heard,
but will not utter
even one small word.
I possess a mind
with a lot to share,
but when asked to speak
will just stand and stare.
Instead of talking,
I’m compelled to write
throughout ev’ry day
and into each night.
