what is this thing
a word
what is this act
to speak

if I make my sound
will my pain be heard
will my voice find
what my heart does seek

what is this thing
that cries out within
that cries out
and needs be heard

but fears
what might be said
and so is silent
but needs still
to speak

what is this thing
a word
what is this act
to speak

what my heart does seek
what might my voice
thus find
