Lost Voice

Reverse Poem

By Autumn ArthursPublished 8 years ago • 1 min read

I am a failure

It is not true that,

We all understand each other

For all our differences

When you see me

You don't look at me

When you speak

I hear you

You don't understand

That I speak too

You listen, knowing

I am a lost voice

I am a lost voice

You listen, knowing

That I speak too

You don't understand

I hear you

When you speak

You don't look at me

When you see me

For all our differences

We all understand each other

It is not true that,

I am a failure

Reverse poems mean something when read in one direction and mean something when read the other direction. They carry two messages and are powerful.
