I lost my voice
Maybe for lack of relevance
Or maybe for lack of appreciation
For so long I went silent
For so long my thoughts were never expressed
Slowly I watched my confidence sail away
Till I embraced loneliness
Slowly all that mattered vanished
Till I embraced depression
One lonely night I found hope
One lonely night I found a goal
I began to write
I began to pour out the pain
I started asking questions
I started finding answers
I realized I was never alone
I realized there were people who could connect
Suddenly my voice mattered
Suddenly all that mattered became clear
My words brought courage
My words became my voice
