I Know Why She Doesn't Speak

Inspired by Maya Angelou


Silence speaks volumes
Silence is golden
Silence is louder than words

She sits in the classroom
She wraps herself in silence
She observes without her mouth

They ridicule her
They taunt her silence
They try to rip her from her somber home

Life has abused her
Life makes her smaller
Life locked her inside a cage

In sadness she watches
In loneliness she wishes
In silence she screams

  1. Cool photo...I see Alexis! : ) The poem speaks a sad truth--I hate to think how many beautiful girls have been made to feel this way.
