The Hamlet Project

Before bed last night,
I was reading a book about the Voice.
It made me think about my own voice
About despite the fact that I get nothing but positive feedback about it,
I still would rather not speak much of the time.
Some keep quiet because they’re not enamoured of the sound
I keep quiet because – I don’t know –
I sometimes just don’t want to say anything.
There’s some internal rule about not saying anything
Unless I have something of value to say. I cannot simply fill up aural space
I’d rather listen.
