MY VOICE
Growing up, I was faulty when, it came to having a voice. I would get tounge-tied, and could never get the words to come out as I wanted them.
Over the years, my faultiness turned into resilence. I lost my voice, I lost my power.
My mind became the walls of a prison, that would not shatter. For I could not say, what was need to be said.
I became alone, and withdrawn. Knowing that, no one could understand; much less know, my thoughts.
Over time, I would lock away, my thoughts like a buried treasure.
Little did, that my shovel would be a pen, and my world a paper.
If you want to know me read me. If you ask me to speak, look in between the lines. Ask me to stand up for what I believe in, give me a paintbrush, and a canvas, then I will show you.
My name is no longer Resilence. It's finally, Kelyn.
