Untie My Tongue Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

Untie my tongue.
Let me speak what it is I feel.
Reveal it from its depth...
Upon surfaces unknown.
To be shown with sincerety.
And a calm and ease of breath.

The peace resting within me,
I seek to be released.
No longer do I accept escapes...
To hide or deny my wish to be freed!

Let me speak what it is I feel.
Untie my tongue...
To share what I have been able to overcome.
With someone there...
Who will hear and know,
My voice!
