What do you do when
you have so much to say
but don't have the words
to express yourself
thoughts begging to be released
but their efforts continue
to be useless
trapped in the prison
that is my mind
itching to be released
but to no avail

What if you go to find your voice
only to realize
you don't have one
or at least one
that you can find
one that is working

What do you do when you
get lost in those thoughts
fighting to be free
from your own mind
unable to escape
because you have no voice
to release them
so many thoughts and ideas
but nowhere to go
sometimes it feels
like my mind is full of
endless thoughts
and I am afriad of
losing myself within them

What would I do if
I found my voice
would I even recognize it
or would I just stroll
past it like
it is a stranger
not even realizing that
it is what I have
been looking for all along

What do you do
when everyone around
you talks loudly
while you sit beside them
quiet and forgotten
still trying
to find your voice

What do you do when
you have gone with
out saying anything
for so long that
your friends forget
that you even have one
forget that you have
an opinion too

How do you express all
these feelings without a voice
these feelings stiring
around in your head
just waiting to be set free

How will you control
yourself when you actually
find your voice
so much time spent without one
so much time and thoughs
that want their turn
in the spotlight

If I found my voice
would I even
remember how to use it
remember how it works
or would I just
continue on in
life silently
still not saying
anything at all

If I found my voice
would I even want
to use it
or would so much
time have gone by
that I have no
need or want
for it anymore

What if by the
time I found my
voice I had
nothing left to say
all those words
that fought to be free
forgotten and lost
in my mess of a mind

What if I
just stopped
trying to find my
voice and let it
come to me
maybe by the time
it finds me
I will know what it is
that I want to say
