Mea Culpa
written by: Vivian Zems

Let my voice be heard
I implored the sky
Let my voice be heard
Make them listen to my words
I dared not be silent
My captors wanted me quiet
I refused to comply
They had no idea why
And still they tried
My voice was their protection
Shielding all from total destruction
They chose to disbelieve
The Reprieve
I so wished to give
So, still they tried
Too weak to resist –
My voice closed like a fist
The silence that followed
Was a deafening roar
Through their ears
It bore
Was utter in its size
It bloomed and burrowed
It was the beginning of
Their demise

I'm a mum of 4 and a dentist, by profession.
I began writing poems in January 2017.
When I was nine, my dad introduced me to audio books. I was hooked. With his guidance, I fell into a world where words became life simply by weaving them together.
I write poetry, short stories and articles on my blog.
Since the publication of 2 non-fiction books on Amazon, I'm now working on a poetry ebook as well as a collection of short stories. So here I am, living out my passion- writing and writing! Enjoy the ride with me 😁😁!
