My Treasure


(I have always wanted To be free To find the light The voice in me Unique And sometimes rough serene and beautiful Yet sometimes tough I have been struggling To find this treasure My voice Scratching and Cracking This voice has Swagger This voice is bold And I have realized It has a treasure This voice once wanted to take its owner's life I remember when this Voice wasn't so beautiful I have always wanted to be free To find the voice The light in me I never knew I had A tongue so powerful Moore powerful than an army I have finally found my voice A voice So beautiful With the words Only I can say Because they are Sometimes Sharp Sometimes Captivating A voice of resilience A voice of Integrity and honesty A voice of survival A voice that Stands on the backs Of so many beautiful Voices A voice of courage When I wasn't feeling courageous A voice of reason When I was feeling confrontational A voice of seasons So sometimes it changes A voice of pride of genius I found myself My treasure My voice

Hello I'm Kate, I have been writing poetry for about five years, but throughout this time I have performed at almost every school performance, I think that poetry is a great way to express yourself. Now I am starting to branch out into performing at open mics in the city.
