Speak

A Poem

I’d be happier if I lost my ability to speak

The embarrassment and memories are leaving me weak

To never again say the wrong thing

To never again be out of tune when I sing

I wish my voice box didn’t work

I wish my words and thoughts stayed behind a smirk

What’s the point of learning from mistakes if you can’t take it back

You just can’t change the reputation that you lack

They say the past is in the past

But then why do consequences always last

I’d be happier if I lost my ability to speak

The thoughts from my mind shall never again leak
