Voice by Ameena Qasim

You want a voice
You need a voice
You've got a voice but
You do not have a voice

Voice,
It's a meaning
It's a feeling,
It's a sense
It's a thought hence
A sound

A volume of words
A door to expression
Sometimes you cannot
Hear it
See it
But you can feel it
...Unconditionally

In mind you want to hear, But cannot
In heart to want to feel, But cannot
In You... you must speak ...but cannot

You know you want to hear But you do not
You know you want to cry but you hold back
You know you must say something, but you then forget

Why...why you?
Why me?

The sudden voice goes...
