My Voice Is Trapped

My voice is trapped

at the edge of my throat

where thoughts are formed

into words and released out

to the world but your accusations

surprise me and supress sounds

not out of fear or hurt but of patience

they say you can’t take back what you say

so I will let my sayings sit on my tongue for awhile

I don’t know whether they will ever come out or be

replaced with other language that may assuage you.
