Internal Articulation

What inner decision, what inner murder or prison break must I commit if I want to speak from my true deep voice? ~Sylvia Plath~

Dec 01, 2024

Shall I write something articulate
Could it be profound?
Read aloud the ring in my voice
Carrying just the right needed sound.
What happened to my fears
The ones holding me back,
they drowned.
At the city park pool,
in my home town.

Save me from myself
Or was I found?
Retired the mask
of the frowning clown.
What goes around
comes back around.
Throughout my childhood
Was screamed so loud.
But looking back
I'll say, I'm proud.

Reflecting on the mirror
Not on the ground.
I let my darkness
fly in the clouds.
Submerged myself
Gained internal wealth.
I like the look of me now.
