Hush and Get By

By Farooq Deema
UK (West Didsbury, Manchester)

I want
to write, but
I dont know what
to say.
I want to speak,
but find
myself choking
on my doubts,
drowning
within these words
that just cant
come out. Awkward
is my beat,
quirky
is the sound of
(silence) which
ignites
the music.
Your sound
has soul
but
your silence
strikes me.
You resonate.
So tell hesitation
to hush and get by.
