I have often considered
living a mute lifestyle
since already my voice
is only heard once in a while.
The only way in which
my words end up in one’s brain
is by writing them to be read
and only then do they stain.
If I lost my voice tomorrow,
that would matter not
as long as words flowed through
my pen, I can still produce a thought.
