MISSION STATEMENT

SILENT VOICES SPEAK started out as Silent Voices: A Writer’s Workshop, as the first group at the drop-in center at the Broadway location of Community Counseling Centers of Chicago, whose purpose is to empower it’s attendees to form and attend their own groups.

We have branched out as an independent entity. We are silent no more. We say yes to the creative possibilities of life & art...

The mission of SILENT VOICES SPEAK is to give a voice to people who are disenfranchised. Many of the participants in SILENT VOICES SPEAK are also visual and/or performing artists.

Membership is open to all.

TOKEN by Kelly Greenwood


Inhibitor of a reality
That I have no business playing in
You’re playing he grown-folks game,
But I'm still growing up
The vibe is magic
Though touch out of the question
I feel you yearn
In the deep damp depths of your soul,
But I'm still trying to forgive
Something so powerful
Can open up the Eye
So deep inside
With just a passing glance
I feel myself surrendering
To your sickness,
A process I cannot bear to repeat
With one token
Comes a dime a dozen
Frozen in the headlights
Like breathe down my neck
Chasing the solo daze
Through the starlit haze,
Some spells were made to be broken
-Kelly Greenwood
