Creative Writing A poem I wrote

Critisism highly welcome, Ive only just tried my hand at poetry in the last few months.

“Maybe Ill sing”

I’m not blind,
Yet I cannot see.
I’m not deaf,
But where are the words?
I’m not mute,
But my voice isn’t speaking.

But what if I took off the black glasses,
And the plugs from my ears,
The gag out of my mouth,
And the sadness from my tears?

If I took things as they are,
Gave each person a chance.
Forget what my friends think,
I might even learn to dance.

Maybe Ill accept what I’m hearing,
And act on it instead,
I won’t close myself off,
To what’s going on in my head.

I’ll speak as myself,
And not as a shield.
I’ll take all the insults,
Consider, not yield.

And most of all,
Ill finally be me.
And hopefully in time,
I will finally see.
And hear,
And speak,
And to top it all off,
Maybe Ill sing.
