I Just Want My Voice Back
I WROTE A POEM ABOUT HOW I LOST MY VOICE. I know I'm being dramatic but I generally had a mental breakdown and wrote this while crying and wanting to scream. I love singing it's literally my favourite hobby and I find so much comfort in singing. IT'S BEEN THREE WEEKS GODDAMNIT!!! Anyway I hope you enjoy my frustrations and my mental breakdown through poem🥰🥰
It isn’t funny anymore.
my mind is cracking like thin ice,
splintering beneath every silent gasp.
I only ever wanted to sing, to let sound carry
the weight my heart could never hold alone.
But now my throat is a bruised battlefield,
every word shattering,
every breath threatening to burst my chest
into a thousand pieces I can’t gather
no matter how tightly I reach.
A part of me feels ripped clean from the bone,
torched to ash before I even knew
what I was losing.
And here I am, kneeling in the wreckage,
scooping handfuls of soot
trying to rebuild something that won’t return.
Is this what Ursula felt?
that desperate, hungry ache for a voice
that once held the shape of her world?
Because without mine,
without the music that once held me steady,
I feel hollowed out, unrecognizable,
a stranger inside my own skin.
Three weeks of this silence,
three weeks of hurting,
three weeks of wanting nothing more
than the sound of myself alive again.
I JUST WANT MY VOICE BACK!
the one thing that never failed me,
the one thing that made me feel whole.
I want it back
so badly it burns.
