Losing My Voice
I can't remember how it happened.
One moment it was there and
the next moment it was gone.
It began with
the use of quiet words and never being heard.
It began with the doubt and the insecurities.
My voice which once burned so bright
became nothing more then a dying ember of light.
Fear had manifested itself in my thoughts
and in the tiny knots
that grew in my stomach.
Slowly and gradually
my voice begins to fade
in my own poisonous mind
full of fear and doubt.
I'm losing my voice.
What can I say?
