Choke Poem by Zena Blank

Choke



we are told to raise our voices
to speak out
express ourselves
let the world know what we think
such a beautifully simple concept
for one to use their voice
at the same time its painfully difficult
when we need to communicate
words fail us
choke us until we cant breathe
just when we need that air the most
we are starved of it
drained if our power
left to rot by what motivated us
what cruelty is this
