Talking Through Written Words Poem by Marcellus Watts

The words on paper
No matter if inscribed in ink or pencil marks
People will read them
People will give attention
People will try to read between the lines
The words put on paper
Always represent your thoughts
As you would say them
As if you were speaking
Voice and tone
People will understand
Some will not
No matter how it's written
Ranting
Reporting
Singing
Expressing
Explaining
Describing
They are your words
How you would say them
As if you were talking
You express something about the subject
No matter what it is
You're talking
Through the words you wrote
Silent but direct
Unheard but seen
Read and understood
Read and misunderstood
Opinion and fact
You're talking silently
Expressing yourself silently
Through writing
