words lost in the ether
what a terrible thing
to have so much to say
and no one to hear your voice
i’m alone again
fighting against myself
equally matched
locked-in for eternity
how do i escape it
i did it before
but now i’m back again
trapped between two worlds
only myself stopping me
seems i can’t explain this one away
i cancel out my own voice
no matter how loud i yell
the perfect wave and counter wave
the perfect foil
leaving it all to silence
to keep me quiet
and put me in my place
-P. Cunningham, July 2011
