The Voice That Was Not Yours
There is a tenderness owed to every voice, the breath and the wear and the human history behind it, that no perfect copy can inherit or replace.

The Poem They lifted my sound
like water from a well
and poured it into a stranger.
It said my words
in my colour
but none of my ache.
A voice is not a shape—
it is a life
that learned to speak.
Give me back
the silence
that was also mine.
