New Voices Poem by Kurt Philip Behm

New Voices

Rating: 5.0


Nobody knew me,
and that was my choice

The distance I kept
protecting my voice

Though others had promised,
their words fell in vain

My spirit untarnished
whose breath I lay claim

My heart often suffered
the pain I'd been caused

But a force pulled me inward,
all hurt left on pause

This pathway my own,
its direction so clear

Where alone I must travel
—new voices to hear

(Villanova Pennsylvania: August,2018)

Impeccable and humane. Being alone has its own merits. Nice poem. Thanks, Kurt. My heart often suffered the pain I'd been caused But a force pulled me inward, all hurt left on pause
