What happens when you lose your voice. Instead of talking you choke up. Like you're going to cry. All the time. Just to relieve the pressure of all the things you cannot say.

And you can't even remember why it is that you cannot say them. You tell yourself they were stupid anyway. Probably they would have revealed you as the fool you are.

Unfit for human understanding. Unfit for human conversation. Unfit for human anything. So. Better to be silent. Better to go and stick your head in an oven. Or in a bowl of water. Breathe in water instead of air. Or in a pillow.

Fill yourself with something different. Gas Water Feathers Anything to fill this awful empty. Anything.

What happens when you lose your voice. You crawl somewhere far inside yourself. You get lost in caverns of forgotten time.

You stumble onto memories better left untouched. You imagine that you've said what you've meant even though you never did. You remember that even when you had your tongue, you didn't say what you meant to say.

A lot of times you said the opposite. And that didn't help anyone. But you would have said.

I love you. I need you. I think of you and when I think of you instead of you there's a horrible hole in me.

A hole like a forest where nothing is as it seems and nobody knows who I am and its so dark and topsy turvy that I got lost before I even started and I need your light to lead me out again.

And so I go—but first: Wait! One more look. Good-by, Good-by, world. Good-by, Niquette’s classroom. Sara and Kiera.

Good-bye to lights flashing. And Elijah’s concussions. And Jayden and Kiyanna. And blue carpets and singing. And acting and breathing.

Oh, you’re all too wonderful for anybody to realize you. Do any you ever realize life while you live it? – every, every minute?
