voicing my feelings
how can i explain
when my voice is
the medium through which
you most know me
that my words sound
like someone else's
and not like mine
that he speaks for me
that you hear his voice
when i open my mouth
not because i want that voice
not because i can't change it
but because i don't know
how to change it
he continues to
speak for me
because i don't know
what my voice sounds like
he continues to
speak for me
because he, at least, knows
what he sounded like
