#findingyourvoice
they say
you are nothing,
a shadow fading away,
unseen, unheard,
lost in the noise.
you are insignificant.
but they are liars
you are everything.
a light that shines bright,
seen, heard,
found in the quiet.
you are significant.

My voice cries out from forced silence,
Thunderous volume in my ears,
Words preparing to do violence
Against my fear to face my fears.
The times I spoke I have been heard,
But poetry’s not for today.
The world needs action, not a word,
Though I’d prefer to run away.
I wish my writing would suffice
So that I never have to be.
But still, I make this sacrifice
Real life needs the real me.
O silent voice, speak through my pen!
A spirit to articulate!
You will be heard, not if but when!
O voice, it’s you I cultivate!
