Summary
The author describes their internal struggle with self-expression and the reawakening of their voice, initially suppressed, which is unleashed by another's influence.
Abstract
The author of the text, "My voice," reflects on the suppression of their own voice, which they had confined through layers of emotional barriers to maintain a sense of peace and accommodation. This tranquility is disrupted by an unnamed individual whose presence stirs the author's dormant voice, leading to a powerful and transformative release akin to a "hungry hurricane." The author acknowledges their initial resentment towards this disruption but ultimately recognizes the necessity of this awakening. The voice, once unleashed, becomes an unstoppable force in the universe, overshadowing the author's previous sense of self. The author concludes with a hint of realization that the radiant demeanor of the person who triggered this change has been a guiding light, suggesting a positive transformation despite the chaos.
