To Be Heard


To Be Heard

To Be Seen

To Be

Simply To Just Be

All my life I wanted

Wanted to be more than I am

Quiet, Invisible

Little me

To be heard

would be a gift

To be heard without

fear of judgment

is unrealistic

But to be confident in words

My words;

That would be a miracle

To be heard

would make me a lion

who appears as a sheep

To be heard

would make me a giant

in the skin of a dwarf

To be heard

gives power

like no other

To be heard 

is a gift

to be seen

is a treasure

To be

changes the world
