Voice of me

It has been months
Since I stepped out of my house,
Nowhere to go, darkness espoused.

It has been months
Since I laughed out loud,
Impulsive enough, to not wear a shroud.

Then one day, I decided to step out
Into a world, full of crowd.
And then,
In the midst of the crowd,
I heard a voice—
The voice that I missed in the darkest of nights,
The voice that always felt, but never was mine.
