The Voice That Doesn't Speak

“Hey, I’m on my way there.”

You should just go away.

“Can I help you with that?”

No someone should help you.

“Here, let me get the door for you.”

At least you’re useful for this.

“You are so pretty!”

Why can’t you look like that?

“I love your hair!”

Did you even brush yours today?

“You know I’m always here for you.”

Maybe you should try and be there for yourself.

Most importantly, Thank you so much for reading! Sharing my writing on Vocal has been an amazing journey that is only just getting started. I hope you subscribe and enjoy my wandering ways. Dabbling in different genres but always thought provoking.

I wrote this piece for Vocals dialogue poem challenge. Hopefully it became clear that the bold words were those spoken from a person and the italicized words were silent self deprecating thoughts of that same person.

If you could please take a moment to comment what you do or don’t like about this piece I would greatly appreciate it. I believe constructive criticism leads to growth!
