Broken Voice Poem by Sarah Pesta

A point has come in my life
Where decisions have to be made
To reveal why a smile always casts upon my face
Deciding whether or not I should take a risk

My heart guides me to the words that need to come out
I listen to my thoughts and I receive the same
Should the truth be unlocked from its seal?
If only words weren't so hard to think of

I have made my choice and I know what to say
The perfect reason for the secret I keep
My mouth begins to open to release it
But my voice is broken and no sound comes out
