Silent Letters

BhavinSe7en

If you ever woed
that you were alone
know others are on the road
and someone will sing the same tone

For what it takes
to be a silent letter
is to apply the brakes
at every stutter

To wallow in the dark
with no hope of light
and constantly bark
ne'er with might

Is true pain
for ignorance is not bliss
it is a life of rain
akin to death's true kiss

Here is a voice
Seldom heard
Man can not rejoice
For his existence is in itself blurred.

  • Comment from author about the poem: Originally started out as a homage to silent letters in the English alphabet but quickly turned into a metaphor for all those who are constantly sidelined and overlooked.

    I like how this idea developed and grew and found its own voice. Thanks for sharing

      Thanks for the love mate. Was hoping people caught on how the poem centred around people not having a voice itself found its own.
