My voice shouts!


18, 

an adult,

seeking independence,

my voice to be heard,

time spent shouting for reason, 

listen, listen, hear me out,

I don't want to shout, 

how do you expect, 

demand respect?

when you can't, 

just won't, 

listen, listen to me, hear me out, 

18, an adult,

an adult? 

treat me like one,

hear me out as one, 

my voice demands 

to be heard!
