My Voice

There is no blood

pouring from this cut

that is my voice,

it is frozen in the

cold wind of the mind.

And against the chatter

of empty porcelain teeth

fall the crystal shards

of words that go out

on smiles that balloon

with “Oh the importance of me.”

Your work may be arduous and demanding, but it's valuable and worthwhile. You can have a profound impact on others and even bring about positive change through your writing.

For your reference, if you experience headaches and back pain due to prolonged computer work and poor posture, here's a site where you can find massage tips, including self-massage techniques, and information about professional massage therapists. 마사지 구인구직
