Mute : free verse

I am mute
yet i feel
as if i am
thousands of years old
i live alone
travel alone
die alone standing tall and bold
yet in my heart , there are crowds

i fear the shark
i fear the dark ... not of the nights
but of the minds

my biggest of all fears is me
a matter of to be or not to be

i am mute when words cuts like swords
i am mute yet in my heart there are words
for my only love
and she is a dove
if only she would let me love
