slice my throat silent
knife on neck
you block my tones
a ‘wanna be’
the song
i’ve always wanted to sing
stifled with
the cut
the drains
and
staples
they tear away my hope
that one day
i’d
sing
for
you
a stupid wish
with no place to fit
body would have never needed
to create the cancer
a reason for the preventative rip
slice my throat silent
knife on neck
your brow
and shaming
it blocks my truth
my story
the thing that happened
with no words
and no place to put them
the slice
it
shuts
me
up
and becomes
all the story I need to tell
slice my throat silent
knife on neck
you win.
NOT
you didn’t know
when plans you made
that my song
find
its
ways
through
SCAR
TISSUE.
never thought it through, did you,
that my story
is still as real
when
buried
by
a
fresh
wound
as it ever was before.
slice my throat
yes you may
and I sing
just the same.
my song
has
never
been
housed
in
vocal
cords
alone
cut me down silent
And
still
I
sing.
I hear your pain but also feel your resolve to triump in singing! Keep singing if mostly in your heart and mind……
