The caged feeling of being unable to speak.
The words don't come as they are,
the pen is a dagger, the paper flesh,
flashed out in single syllables.
The grammar gone, so wrong the sentences;
so hard to understand. So hard to explain.
The tongue sounds dull, broken
the snares of the instrument.
Nothing of comprehension
can the voice still...
still produce, produces a song
of windpipe cacophony.
The concert of the voiceless,
enclosed in their shells.
Can I, who can speak, speak for them?
A gesture the least, may be comforting.
Yet, I too turn to silence,
where the 'community'
does not comprehend
there is nothing to say
when the voiceless aren't heard
inside ones heart.
