Have no faith

Have no hope

Always writing poems

That contribute one note

One of silence

One I cannot say

Told to keep isolated

Having no other way

Forced to stay quiet

Forced to shut down

Abandoning my control

Letting fall my crown


***

Just something I thought of during class. The message to this one is basically just saying that someone had forced me to stay quiet for so long about so many things (mainly my opinions) and it changed me quite a bit.

Now I struggle talking about my ideas and perspectives. Though it's gotten a lot better thanks to someone who has helped me talk about things more openly. I hope this poem helps whoever needed to hear it to realize that shutting out your voice is letting go of your crown. You're very powerful, don't let words rust you.
