45/F/Texas Hi there! I find the topic of my life truly fascinating, and I believe it could easily become a novel someday. For now, I invite you to explore *My Life in Poetry*, where I share the many interesting experiences that have shaped who I am today. Everything
Having a Voice Having the knowledge They don't listen to me. Why don't you listen I shout in silence Oh Why They hear a whisper I am standing up for myself. With every ounce of passion I fight through the noise. U will hear me I'm not to be ignored I'm breaking down these walls They say I'm crazy I am a little insane I see, I do feel, who even cares My voice will be heard They see, but don't feel I know, I do feel, who even cares My voice will be heard Do you know where I am from?

Standing for myself
In a town that whispers secrets, shadows paint the walls,   I walk these empty streets alone, where silence softly calls.   With my head held high, but my heart tucked away,   The echoes of yesterday keep haunting me today.   I wear independence like a threadbare coat,   Each stitch tells a story, each tear feels like a boat,   The sun sets low, behind the trees I've known,   Casting haunting memories in hues of amber and stone.   I count the stars as they flicker to the beat,   Each one a whisper of love, now just bittersweet.   I learn to dance with shadows, let them pull me close,   In the quiet solitude, I find what matters most,   But the weight of my decisions hangs heavy in the night,   A ghost of who I could’ve been, just out of reach, out of sight.   So I chase the dawn with my fragile, open heart,   Yet the more I seek the sun, the more I drift apart.   In the echo of my laughter, there's a tremble, there's a sigh,   For the freedom that I long for also makes me want to cry.   I'll raise a glass to freedom, to the choices that I've made,   But behind this brave facade, a part of me will fade.   In every step I take alone, there's a wish for company,   For in this independence, I'm still longing to be free.
