Ghost voice
There once was a person called Jimmy,
A strong soul with a broken voice.
A lost voice which has a on and off switch.
Always coming to light when it wants to.Leaving him in distress and throat itch.
It's not something to be forced out. ὞
That,he has learnt over the years because it makes it much worse.
Could cause damage to his voicebox.
Isn't that swell?

It's extremely hard for Jimmy to express himself to heart's content in that situation
He always ends up being the joke of the day. It's a daily occurrence for him.
It really sucks,but It's the norm.
He isn't the strongest,
still he is not the weakest.
Those jabs are just enough to throw one into internal chaos!
He's rather withdrawn, definitely not by choice,but by circumstances.
He can only maintain a certain range.
Anything higher will surely result to disorder.
Most times, it comes out as a whisper.

Socializing is so exhausting and agonizing
But how is he supposed to live without Socializing?
A weak voice that comes to light at the wrong time.
Just when he needs it most,it vanishes.
Poof,faster than a blink of the eye.
And when he finds it,it comes out wrong
What a bummer!

Put yourself in Jimmy's shoes.
Imagine not being able to express anger.
Anger kills his voice faster,all he can do is hold it all in.
It's building up waiting to be released.
Imagine not being able to laugh out loud,shouting your head off.
Whatever can Jimmy do?
Everything can only be expressed almost in silence.

Makes you pity him,innit?
Now you see,he didn't have a choice.
Might be a gift from above
He's stuck with it.Just gotta suck it up
If only there's an amplifier or surgery..
That,would surely cost an arm and leg!
Or,could there be an exchange of voices?
What wishful thinking ,Ha!
A young soul with a ghost voice.
A curse ,which will follow him right to the end of time.
