my fastened throat (poetry series)
my lips are burning to release
these words
like smoke
fire
filling up my throat
unheard
liberating to release
my truth
these words
so free
flowing
my voice comes out
like a cloud of smoke
the old me
felt like I was being choked.
my fastened throat
fake smiles and shiny masks
my fastened throat
held me back
my fastened throat
the only way out was through
my fastened throat
my voice
my truth.
