Depart From My Language

whispering through a crescendo
I accommodate his monolingually
always spoke prim and smoothed
commercialize me .
be impeccable or simultaneously lukewarm
never to undress again
classic

Wow Meagan, this is deeply evocative and unique. Your voice shines right through the theme of suppression. Thank you for sharing such a poignant, beautiful piece with the community. Well done for the challenge.
