Silenced

Impulse vs doubt

Something’s there, stuck in the way

In the way of what I wish I’d say

Leaking batteries and tangled wires

Ensnare my voice and quench my fires

Not free to speak or make a sound

Clamped down and down into the ground

Eager thoughts remain unstated— self-silenced and deflated….

Doubt in my throat— thoughts trapped behind— is there any worth in speaking my mind?

Acrostic
