I do like your repetition of the voice inside her, mainly for the reason that it highlights the part of the equation that was missing for so long, one that probably lead to her voice finally allowed release- " the person beside her/ listened to every word".

The "voice inside her" certainly does a great deal of talking now, doesn't it, Rdfrdmom2?

I'm really not sure how to respond to this. It is a forever rambling, scrambling verse, falling helter-skelter down the page like a raging waterfall. It's definitely powerful and extremely unique. The overall presentation was highly creative. I just found myself wondering who the "her" was that the poem was referring to. I read your authors notes, however they do not shed much light about her.

Well done. ~Dean

    Due to the confidential nature of my talk with this 21-year-old, I could not shed much light about her; but suffice it to say the reason I could write so deeply about her situation is that I have been where she is

    Thank you for this very deep review

This is a riveting and heart searing poem of a woman struggling to
have her voice heard; and prolonged anguish and pain endured
feeling helpless and doomed. You have captured her battle for
her voice, ever so illustriously and compassionately. Glad to
note this young warrior found her voice at last....and pray she
keeps on voicing it.
Thanks for sharing...

Hi there,

This is very lyrical and the flow throughout is maintained and good. The message is also so relevant - finding your voice. So important in so many ways but perhaps the most important is within the relationships we make. Taking a stand and being heard, acknowledged and appreciated.

Nicely done.

A great poem for someone who can't say what she would like. It's a tragedy when these things occur. For whatever reason, she cannot say what is inside her, I hope she will be free to express herself. Good writing. Drew

nice tribute from someone who noticed the change and heard the voice that was always there, but was silent. i like the echo like repetition at the end of each stanza.

This work has reached the exceptional level

Interesting format that I don't remember seeing before. You use a technique of a song to reenforce the meaning of a predicament that finally resolves itself in a favorable way for your subject. Hope it lasts.
