Mute

With poetry
I am born
into a new
existence

Words be
the spark
that ignites
my soul

But anytime
you speak
from a place
that is not
your heart
you are
mute
to
me

Very well said. This could not have been any clearer. Well done. I like how this feels, smooth yet direct.

This is pretty cool Sam! I also like the rhythm and flow. You're good with free verse.

Great job! First talking about what poetry means to you and the passion that you put into your own work. Then flipping it and calling those who only seek an ego-stroke or write things they don't mean, for whatever those reason are, mute. Because in truth what are they saying? Another great poem about being true to yourself that showcases you're love and passion :)

I love this poem it really recognizes that nothing is really meaningful unless it is honestly true and comes from your heart!
