What happened to my writing?
What happened to my words?
Could I call them back?
Would I be heard?

I thought this was my outlet,
I thought this was how I was freed,
Could I call it back?
Should I plead?

Should I pray for inspiration?
Or give up for the best?
Maybe my time is up,
Perhaps it’s time for a rest.

Yes, perhaps it’s time for a rest.
