Mute

by Katherine - Aquarius

I loathe my disease
I cry with the smallest voice
 too low in my throat to be heard
I allow myself to grow courage
 just as a tease
I'm thrown back against the wall 
knocked to the floor
Straining to see
 To catch my breath which has left me
To smell the flowers fragrance that once was so lucious
but the scent has rotted
 as my voice has gone to waste
nothing will be released from my mouth
The disease is eating at my tounge,
 my lips, my face.

Reason for writing:

    I have a problem communicating. Comments are welcome.
