Just because I have lost my voice
Understand I still have a choice
People can speak
But never be heard
Nothing as powerful
As a well-chosen word
I can write and listen
Everything else the same
I don’t need to tell you
Already know my name
My mind over compensates
I am still me
Those that have eyes
Yet never see
May be I will recover
May be I shall not
This has taught me
Love what you’ve got
Hope you feel
I’m not speaking out of turn
All of us can help
Each other to learn
