A Voice

A voice.

A rich beautiful full sound.

Or scrawny meek and feeble.

A voice.

Something impossible for me to grasp

because everytime I speak no one hears

and now I ask for you,

for someone,

oh please someone hear me!

Let whatever voice I have

whetherit be

weak or strong

ugly or beautiful

let my voice engulf the land

let it make the birds cry in despair or joy

let it bring the message to the world

"this is me"

"this is my voice"

"you can take it or throw it away"

"but which ever you choose"

"I'll know someone finally listened"

and with that I would die happy

or I would die sad.

Either way thanks for listening.
