No one understands
How important it is to
Talk
To hear your own voice
Having others listenTalk may be overrated
With today's technology
Everything is done
By text
Or social mediaBut what about
Face to face
Conversations
Those who can do it
Know naught of what it's like
To be robbed of itFor 2 years
I had limited versions of
Talk
Of hearing my own voiceI didn't see people
They didn't see me
I was bedridden
So my only glimpse
Of the worldWas through Facebook
And writing
Now 28 months into recovery
I can talkI try to use the opportunity at
Every turn
Even if I ramble
Even if I talk too much
I talk to myself tooWhy not?
My voice
Is a voice that should be heard
Just like others
When one is ill
They forget they have oneThey forget how to
Remember to talk
Please don't let go
Of your talk
