I am in love with speech,
and expression unchained, unfettered—
though I may stay silent for years, listening but never speaking,
lips pressed tight,
letting no flat tone escape my mouth.
Yet I know
my heart, my soul
will never lie to me.
I am in love with freedom—with pouring out thoughts,
with words, with grammar, with emotion,
and with lively, lilting cadence,
fluent and fervent in debate and speech.
All I want
is to say all that needs saying.
All I want
is to talk unbound by external rules—
nothing more.
But truly,
I must confess:
I love speech because I love freedom;
I love freedom for what it carries—
that innate right granted with our first breath.
