Where did my voice go?

Days have turned into a week and still

Nothing but gurgles, cracks and croaks,

A struggle to force air out of a narrow path

Or create any vibrations in my throat

*

A dark angel came in and stole my voice

That’s the only explanation that I have,

I am being punished for pretending for so long

That I didn’t have one inside

*

It’s true, I tried to strangle it

Afraid of what others may think,

But recently I took command of it

And fell in love with the parts that make it unique

*

It’s small and silvery nature

Which make it light and pleasant,

Made me realize there’s nothing wrong

with me embracing that quiet storm

*

I allowed the words to leave my mouth

For the wind to carry it away,

To allow the musical notes of my throat

To be shared in every single way

*
