Let Me Speak

Give me a pen
And I will write
Stifle me
Cage me
And with claw and fang
I will fight

What might
Happen
If I spoke
More often

I know
Sometimes
In the past
I have
And it didn’t go
Right

But
Was that
Really me
Or
Dragon momma
Trying to
Protect me

I want to speak
Unfiltered
But I am baby
Speech
Not yet acquired
So
Big
Beautiful
Adult me
Will you be
The one I need
Will you
Pause
The podcast
Open notes
Set thumb to screen
And let me
Finally
Speak
Freely
