My voice is strong,

My voice is loud, 

My voice is very unique...

My voice is gold,

It lifts my soul,

From the top of my head to my feet.

 

My voice can move all mountains 

And can see through every lie.

My voice is artistic and very authentic

And puts a spark in every eye.

 

Do you dislike my voice?

If so, you are terribly deaf.

'Cause my inspiring voice can touch your heart

And reach its very depths.

 

One day, my voice will inspire this world,

Maybe even the galaxy.

Until then, it shall rest inside of my chest...

Kept silent by the beholder, Me.

Sometimes, I feel like my voice is trapped inside with no way of getting it out... I find it hard to be proud...

&quot;Though much is taken, much abides; and though we are not now that strength which in old days moved earth and heaven; that which we are, we are; one equal temper of heroic hearts, made weak by time and fate, but strong in will to strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield.&quot; -Lord Alfred Tennyson

I like it a lot, you surely have a strong message to share here it's so meaningful and thruthful. I'm pretty sure that when the time comes, you will be able to feel it and know deep in your heart that this is it, this is the time when you get to speak up and let your great and inspiring voice be heard. just hold on and keep fighting for what you believe in, as life goes on it shall bring you right where you belong. At that time, it will be like a great Wake Up Call for eveyone. Keep writing you are truly gifted. Thank you for sharing this ^_^
