Poetry

Written Words

Finally, after all this time,
she believes she has found her voice.
Not through speaking but writing them down.
With them, she can voice her words.
Trying to speak them out loud makes her nervous.
Writing the words down on paper helps her feel powerful.
Writing, she thinks is her God given gift.
What she writes down makes the words sound beautiful.
Who knows they may help someone reading them.
That I believe is her goal.
To be heard, not just seen.

A Wonder of Beauty 

I’m not a beauty
by society’s standards.
Yet I am beautiful. 

I’m considered unusual,
not part of the group.
Yet I am wonderful.

I wear hardly any makeup,
nor the latest fashions.
Yet I am beautiful. 

Not original.
Not normal.
Yet I am wonderful.

I am unique.
A force to be reckoned with.
I am a beauty.
Full of wonder.
