“Letting words out,
saying them out loud
would lighten the pain,
lighten my sorrow,
make me happy again.
I will stop missing Amma,
stop loving her.

No . . .
that will never do.

So I lock them within me,
afraid to open my mouth
lest the hurt, the love, the memories
fly and fade away
like birds on the horizon.”
Ranjeeta Raam

“I was a prisoner inside my own body. I felt desperate, angry, stupid, confused, ashamed, hopeless and absolutely alone... and that this was of my own making. I could speak at home, how come I couldn't outside it? I have never been able to find the right words to describe what it was like. Imagine that for one day you are unable to speak to anyone you meet outside your own family, particularly at school/college, or out shopping, etc., have no sign language, no gestures, no facial expression. Then imagine that for eight years, but no one really understands. It was like torture, and I was the only person that knew it was happening. My body and face were frozen most of the time. I became hyperconscious of myself when outside the home and it was a relief to get back as I was always exhausted. I attempted to hide it (an impossible task) because I felt so ashamed that I couldn't do what other people seemed to find so natural and easy - to speak. At times I felt suicidal.”
Carl Sutton, Selective Mutism In Our Own Words: Experiences in Childhood and Adulthood
