Due Consideration (Free verse) by Dovina

An urgent whisper rises strained I hold it back hold breath Could it sound or only crack trying To restrain that unborn word might forfeit all To give voice, gain too much and what if that whisper isn’t ‘No’? After due consideration I ignore reason Better to take whatever pain release breath and thereby know

I speak Arabic. All words stick in my throat. That's how we talk.

But no, I never ever feel like the voice of reason is acting at odds with my instinct or preexisting beliefs, so I need to ignore or abandon one of them to make things work. I think that would be a terrible way to live. I'm sure unreasoning people think mine is a terrible way to live, but then I seem a lot less bent out of shape than a lot of them.
