Chains Around the Voice

Noise fills the lungs,

quiet fills the heart.

Hesitation keeps everything in place,

while confidence shrinks from fear.

The voice is passionate,

but silenced by doubt.

Straining to be noticed

pushes desperation forward,

as fitting in swallows uniqueness—

leaving bits and pieces of individuality

scattered inside a hollow skull.

It forces the recreation of self,

shattering barriers without reason,

upholding each idea that sparks creativity,

yet dismissing the chains

still bound to silence.
