Voice.

I have no voice
and I cannot speak.
Nobody listens
to the weak.
I have no voice,
no audible sound.
I can't be saved;
I've hit the ground.

I would have a voice
If I thought I could
I have much to tell
But I don’t think I should

I want a voice.
I want to share my soul.
I want to sing my song
and know it’s beautiful
I want a voice.
I want to stand tall.
I want to know that I
can speak after all.

I have no voice,
not a word to say.
My act of cowardice
is my play.
I have no voice,
just fears to be.
Caged in silence,
I long to be free.

I would have a voice
If they told me I could
I have much to tell
But they don’t think I should

I want a voice.
I want to share my soul.
I want to sing my song
and know it’s beautiful
I want a voice.
I want to stand tall.
I want to know that I
can speak after all.

I have no voice,
I can't be me.
Worthless and unwanted,
I cry, desperately.
But I have no voice.
This can't be said.
Why try to live
If I'm already dead?

I try to have a voice,
I can't even scream.
And I keep falling
away from my dream.

I need a voice.
I need to share my soul.
I need to sing my song
and know it’s beautiful.
I need a voice.
I need to stand tall.
I need to know that I
can speak after all.

This is it now,
I have no voice.
If I did this,
No one would know…
It was my choice.

Then I start to sing,
with my little faith.
Feeling the melody,
I see my dream
is too real to erase.

Something in me changes,
I try to speak.
A stifled word
is finally released.

And I don’t feel so weak.

My perspective is changed,
I can be free
This person kept in waiting,
Was silenced by me

I have a voice.
I have to share my soul.
I have to sing my song
Because I know it’s beautiful.
I have a voice.
I have to stand tall.
I finally know that I can speak after all.
