A Voice Evolved ( No Music)

A poem about overcoming my self consciousness about my speaking voice. This is the poem without music A Voice Evolved A voice of self-consciousness A voice of doubt A child trapped in a dark room Wanting to go forth In the remote wilderness but No one can hear my scream They don’t hear the real me I often wasn’t seen They see what they want to see They listen to what they want to hear I begin to hear their distorted audio Of my vocals So begins the fear People thought silenced me I became stagnant and stuck Until one day, I stopped giving a… You know what Exactly. You filled it in right. The voice of many waters Broke through My self-critical dam Flooding I spoke life into who I am A voice that is born A voice that’s me A voice that has now evolved P.O.P. is free.
