PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

I feel like everything I say is put down,
disregarded, or provided incorrect.

So I hush my lips and pretend these words
are not swirling around my mind.

Everyone must think I have nothing to contribute
because half of the time they interrupt me
before I even complete my thought.

I come to a point that it's better to stay silent
than to be criticized for what I have to say.

No one understands how much judgment
can destroy a person's character.

And that's what it has done to me-
the spark in my soul has been extinguished.
