My Voice
I, have a voice.
Just as you have;
Just as everyone has
And it speaks with words,
That are no better or worse
Than those that emanate from your mouths
–But I, choose to use them selfishly
This poetry, these thoughts;
They are deep, inside-my-head opinions,
That you have no rights to
And yet –I choose to post them,
For all the world to see.
So who the hell am I?
I don’t know if I’ve ever felt more vulnerable,
Than when I hit “Publish”
But I can’t stop,
At least not for another 50 days
And what then?
Dear artistic Goddess?
I’ve prayed you would save me,
For the last sixteen months…
What do I say then?
How do I use this voice?
How to do I bend my words
To win your fickle approval?
