selective mutism

[shamelessly_mkp]

theoriginalmkp:

the words are still there. I have not lost them.
it is not a matter of being lost.

it is not a matter of being stolen, either -

no siren song has coaxed them from my throat,
there is no unrepentant thief to blame.
no curse holds me captive and mute.

I have only two brothers.

neither one requires a nettle shirt.

the words are still there. they have not left.
they have no need of hiding.

it is not a matter of being afraid.

they are just

so very tired.
