Welcome to my echo- Silence.

                          I lost my voice 

          I cannot, do not, speak for myself.
              * Im Speechless by design.*
           Tongue tied by a kiss so sweet.

            *These lips can utter no further.*

                Language is lost on me,
        *I am but a rabbit learning hopscotch.*
            Silence, the ultimate usurper,
       I am a failed hat trick, a rabbit unboxed.
                      
                  /

                    I inherited a disease, 
              One disquieting, mute of me. 
            *I survive in a mimes scheme,*
               *In a world no one else sees.*

:

               *Reading lips is risque-risky*
  If I eye a request to steal-steel my resolve,
          What does **”It”** take to prepare?
 *An Egomaniac’s lips? Kleptomaniac’s hands?*
            Pneumonia engulfs my being,
    *Im drowning in what I cant, and wont say.*

Now normally, I hate, hate

           Hate.

               The phrase, fight fire with fire.

The truth of the matter, now never has burnt brighter.

The oxygen I breathe stings, the words I say next,
double the ire.

Behind closed doors, we’re surrounded by the web;
Trapdoor spiders.

                 *This is how I lost my voice.*
                      And You, yours.
        We have no control over ourselves. 
       As the shackled, stable we sit, we eat. 
 With a hoarse-horse message, unanswered.
                          *To be cattle.*


                       I lost my voice.

Your poem is like a silent scream. Haunting and powerful. Some lines left me feeling like I missed a secret handshake, but that’s part of the charm. A little clarity here and there, and this could be a masterpiece of quiet rebellion.
