This is my voice


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
