A Daring Voice Inside Me

There’s a daring voice inside me 
  clutching the iron bars of my throat

It yearns to speak the truth my eyes see
  Imprisoned, though, silenced its vote

i can relate to this, gershon. sometimes it is in our best interests to be quiet, but it usually feels much better to let that daring voice out of its prison...

It feels better to let that voice out, true... but for how long?! ~ Calculating Calvin

I would let that caged voice out -- were I the warden. ~ Speechless.

In a way, yes -- bound by etiquette, as you put it, Seeker. thanks for the insight. ~ Gershon
