And yet another one to fall into my lap. I wrote it last night.

Voices Carry
Once upon a time
there was a girl
someone stole her voice
and gave no regret
they stripped her
of everything she knew
and everything she cared for
in a second it was gone

She struggled and squirmed
and wriggled and writhed
and she fought her
falsely gentle captors
with all the strength
such a girl could muster
which may surprise you
but did not do much for her

She lay trapped in a cell
bruised but not broken
scarred but not scared
voiceless but not thoughtless
stripped but not starved

Every day she fought
as they ripped from her
every bit of humanity
they stole her identity
for the sake of insanity
after a bit she didn't
have enough strength left
inside of her to keep fighting
she grew tired soon
but she gave it no rest
and she gave them no time
to spend their precious wealth
or maintain her waning health

Into a foggy subconscious she slipped
where coconut drinks and spirits were sipped
and she woke to a soggy room
wet with the tears she never let out
then they seized her
and teased her
and spit on her worn flesh
and she let out a sigh
and then all heard her cry
as it broke the stone walls
and the cold unforgiving stalls
in the dark of the night
"LET ME GO!"

And with all of the strength
she had left in her bones
she ran as the walls crumbled
and the clouds subsided
and she fell to the ground
and bathed in the sun
and everyone ran to her side
and they, all of them, cried
all the tears she never let out
for the girl who lost her voice
