Challenge
Cat got you tongue?
Describe being shy and finding your voice when It matters the most
Mute
Why did you chain me to rusty walls
amidst the wails and squalls
of circling tomcats and tabbies?
Caged inside your ragged borders,
birds of prey circling my bones
while myriad cats bide their time
for morsels of me scattered on ground.
I pen my pleas on the murky ceiling,
written in the blood you have wrought,
my torturous thoughts smeared in dust
while trails lead to legions of mangy cats.
I am alone while you prance with felines,
catapulting over me, caterwauling.
What is your problem, cat got your tongue?
You open your mouth wide and swear
hordes of cats have eaten your tongue.
