stripped voice
blades creeping closer, enclosing my throat,
through the incessent pressure I breathe,
continually coping and learning to speak,
I'm a life stolen by fears faithful thief.
On my throat of thinning skin,
lies scars of broken sores and nicks,
piled over with longer slashes,
forming streams of dripping dashes,
a throat of meat and pussy sores,
a strangled voice that speaks no more,
silence sought and silence given,
the fear of knives results submission.
