Creative Voices

By Micol Silvera / Matthew staff | Edited by Marouso Pappa

To heal bleeding words, 

I look for stitches. 

To each its function; 

Mouths shall speak, 

Eyes shall see. 

Yet voices are unheard  

By silent eyes 

And blind words 

Because one function  

Is not enough 

For those who are often told 

shut up. 

Then I shall train 

My eyes to speak 

And my words to see, 

So that my voice  

Will be heard 

Telling a story 

Of grief and hope.
