***Poetry I've Written*** Stolen Voice

Today's poem is something I cobbled together since my muse has taken a holiday. Slightly rude of it if I'm honest. Who said it could run away?

I feel the darkness closing in,

Pray tell, when will this end?

Moments stolen, the only light,

As I won’t drown forevermore.

Give me a new name and I am reborn,

Like a phoenix I’m living in the flames,

Just to rise and not fall,

Something I’ve always wanted to do.

I wish... oh how I wish,

That things had turned out different.

In another world I think they did,

Life has never been so unfair.

I don’t like these words,

The wrongness drips from the tip of my pen.

My voice has been stolen,

Now what am I going to say?
