Description
I

This is my ordinary voice,
Unheard because I mumble.

I don’t like being heard, maybe,
But screaming
Is another matter,

Rupture it is
Revealing,
I like the attention.

Eyes on me,
Don’t just listen, react,
Scream

I will
For pity.

II

This is my ordinary voice
Still.

Can you hear me
Behind these walls?

You built them to protect me,
You said
I’d like them,

And I did like the way my voice echoes;
I could hear myself
Talk into your eyes,

But still, it’s getting cold.

III

This is my ordinary voice
No longer.

Not the one that was ignored
During our game of hide and seek;
I was the seeker.

Not abandoned, it just disappeared
Because it grew tired;
Darkness refused to be its friend.

A quitter or
A fugitive
You may call it,
Not looking back.

Now it’s your turn,
Catch me.
