This is my voice
In my head
Breaking out to
Touch the world
At times
But
Timid and elusive
Pulling back when
Not attended
Or derided
Too sensitive
I have been told
The naysayers
Shutting me down
But still
The chatter is a
Constant stream
In my head
This is my voice
Internalized
Never
Shut down
Or
Silenced
