To Speech Pathology

TO SPEECH PATHOLOGY A voice is something to treasure. An expression is nothing without this. You can feel the deep suppression when possessed by another human being. Speaking out and it becomes dubbed. No, you are not a mute. You do have a voice. To the speech pathologist, I ask can you explain this phenomenon. When pure thoughts are taken before they leave the mouth. Heard is the individual speaker but he or she is not saying the words. It is a crime for a voice to be stolen. It is a felony when the individual speaker is the victim of something so palpable. Once you begin to speak, you have learned the course. The passageway that enables it to not be your voice. Why, is asked. Is it because you are being robbed of fame and success. Or, is it because your physicality is being disesteemed... Especially when you are a poet that brings the tangibles of life unambiguousness. Why, therefore, is your voice being suppressed? To the speech pathologist, I ask can you explain these occurrences. That is when pure thoughts are being dispossessed. You are the writer of your prolific verse. However, speaking out and the words becomes dubbed. Therefore, your poetic style is not heard. How is a self-image without being expressed? As the poet or (poetess), gender is non-bias. But, when it comes to voice, you are your gestures. Intonation is, thus, your metaphorical expression. I ask the speech pathologist what is his or her call in this. I am a student from United States public schools that speech had to be assisted. I had a problem with the blend of consonants. I overcame this hindrance. Yet today there is a different kind of interference. Technology is everywhere. A vocal environment is what we have. I can see the cubicle I am within. As I speak, I see a domineering essence. How do I remove this from my presence? Phantasm is the word that is applied. I am my voice profound by pure thought. Is this an airborne disease of some sort? What is it like to be a poet without a voice? I will tell you this - it is no search entity which can capture a voice esteemed. I am the writer that intonation well surpass the eidolon of others' activism. As a political powerhouse, scrupulous and intact. The vision of divinity has manifested. Both together, but the same in separate places, a voice is a voice in the eminence of what is being aforesaid. Once again. Speech pathology should investigate this singularity to the point that it informs individuality! ___________________________________________________________________| Penned June 14, 2015!
