I live in a world of darkness,
A place that hates itself.
It tells me to give my opinion,
Then puts a hand over my mouth.
I am one person
Just a single voice.
You tell me to speak,
Then take away my choice.
How could you try and hide me?
This world was built by us.
The free spirits and free thinkers,
We're the ones that you should trust.
Please give us back our voice,
And let us be ourselves.
Tell us that we can speak,
And remove the hand from our mouths.

So sad but so true. I really like it. Kudos for you.

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
