Unable to Mute

Thoughts dancing around my head, looking for someone to share
Questions, answers, and opinions, with hope that someone seems to care

I've got something to say, but no audience to listen
All they do is pretend, flashing false smiles that glisten

My words are a chorus, in the deafening song of the masses
Composed of deeper meanings, which can not be taught in classes

I can not be daunted and will voice my thoughts and desires
One day my words will ring true and ignite inner fires

Author's Note

I like straight shooting and no sugar coating...brutal honesty. Being slapped in the face drives the point home. With that being said I do like nice reviews as well 😜

I thoroughly enjoyed this poem. It hits me mostly because sometimes I, personally, feel like I am mute since most of my opinions are lost in the wind.
It had a nice pace that didn't have any awkward pauses that I could tell.
Nice job!

Thnx for the review. I am glad you were able to connect with the feelings expressed. Sometimes it can be utterly frustrating thinking that no one is listening. Yet...that can't hinder the expression of thoughts, opinions, desires, etc. Such things will not ring true with everyone (And they don't need to) but they will be graciously received by others. Thnx again.

It was my absolute pleasure.

This piece paces well, displays an understanding of the use of structure and form, and has a complete and strong rhyming scheme.
The subject matter, the emotions expressed there, and the development of the emotional text is assured, and most thankfully for my own reading, does not whine. Certainly the ideas are not unknown to those who might read this piece, even though we might personally have different experiences and dreams of how it will all work out.
The use of "someone" in both the first and second line is repetitive, unnecessarily in my opinion, and the line "My words are a chorus, in the deafening song of the masses " seems muddled as far as the powerful statement it could be with the musical terminology cleaned up.

We all know the feeling brother.
I've also got this tic to always copy-paste texts I read into an editor and change-stuff on my first lecture.
Here is the unfiltered result of this. Maybe it's good, maybe it's s**t, but I really like your text. ;)

Thoughts dancing around my head,
looking for someone who shares
Questions, answers, opinions I have
hoping that somebody cares

There is something I have got to say,
no audience to listen
Pretenders only, polluting my way
flashing false smiles that glisten

My words are a chorus,
in the deafening song of the masses
Composed of deeper meanings,
which can not be taught in classes

I can not be daunted and will voice my thoughts
my dreams and all my desires
The day soon will come
where my words ring true
And ignite inner fires

I really like the line "My words are a chorus, in the deafening song of the masses." That is a well-expressed line and it evokes not only imagery but also creates an emotional connection for (I would imagine especially) every poet reading it, as well as any reader. After all, each of us really is one voice among the masses, trying to be heard. Nice job!
