The Voice

_Lily_fortune_

Your hearts pounding through your chest you don't know what to say,

your instant heathy breathing 

to drown out the words delay,

even though we have a right to speak 

were told to keep it shut,

if we were ever to speak up we'd need a lot of gut,

im going to stand up now I've made my choice,

I can make a difference now that I finally have a voice.

    WELCOME LILY ~ Thanks for a challenging first poem. well structured replete with rhyme (pattern axax bb cc) and rhythm. This makes it a pleasure to read and recite. Subject is as important as structure and I like the one you have chosen. Finding ones voice and actually using it ! Hopefully we find our voice at school (by the time we are 16 !) and we have the courage to use it throughout our lives. I was encouraged at school to speak up and defend my own beliefs and opinions and ideas. We should never stifle the independence of a child ~ just because they are a child. We should all be entitled to air our own ideas and choices. Thanks for sharing a great poem ! BRIAN
