Dulling colors fill the empty void
When am I to hear my calling?
When am I to hear my voice?

My heart wants to cry out
My lips wish to speak
But my head is lost in a world its own

They dance through my brain,
Each a great and colorful idea,
Attempting to blot out the dullness
But never really succeeding.

I dream of the day my thoughts take action,
I long for the day my silent lips quiver with a voice.
My voice - a voice to reckon with.

The author's comments:
It's not entirely awe-inspiring, but I'm trying to portray my longing to be a writer, and how I have good ideas and thoughts, but can never seem to get the depth of them across.
