SILENT VOICES SPEAK: 08/31/12

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.

"You're Gone" :( by Sharon H.

You're Gone
No Good-Bye
No reason why.
So confused
as tears flow,
unable to make sense
of why you would go,
no answers
just questions. and
worries.
Feeling
lost
sad
hurt
angry...
falling
falling
crashing...
I can't believe
You're Gone,
You walked away
with
no good-bye
no reason why.
Are you okay?!
What happened?!
I don't know...
It hurts that you're gone,
feels so wrong...
I know you cared
So what took you
away from here??!!
I want to ask...but
You're Gone -
No good-bye
No reason why. :(
