And left me with pen and paper,
You'd know me ten times better,
Than if, I spoke the words.
For I speak with my mind
But write with my soul,
I speak when wise
But write with heart.
Oh, I would die, if pen, paper
And I, were apart.
You do not truly know me,
Until you've read what I've written
You can not truly understand me,
Until you analize what I've wrote.
Through writing is the key to my heart,
For pen, paper and, I, shall never part.
And if we do, you'll find
You won't know a signle thing on my mind.
...
So rip out my vocal chords,
I only speak with written words.

I liked this,its so very true.
The one thing I didn't care for was "if you ripped out my vocal cords" Sounds so grose. I think maybe you should have stated "if I lost my vocal cords"
Anyway you did a nice job writting this.

I often have wondered how true this is for so many poets.
You have expressed this nicely.
I love the sentiment! |

| I had that kind of feeling as I was about to read this poem, that the title meant it was going to be unusually strong. lol I think that comes from experience, because you seem to have a general sincerity in all your writes, and you know they come from exactly where you say they do in this poem. I find myself taking into consideration a new thought from each of your writes, and though I do find myself always agreeing with your writes because they're things I've considered before, there's just so much I've never considered that you addressed. That vocal chords thing in particular this time around really struck me. That's such a strong thought, and it really added to an already strong poem. Your description of how and why you'd never need them was really something to be admired in this write. I can only wonder how long this poem in particular took to write, because, for me at least, the truly sincere kind just flow like....something..flowy....lol. But seriously, this is an amazing write, as always, and i look forward to reading more of your stuff! |
