One Voice
I only have one voice and one thing to say
I say it and mean it, almost every single day
I get irritated and tired because I don't have space
I never last five minutes in one place
I have to stop and pretend that I don't hear you talking
I feel like leaving, might get started walking
But when I do talk, I don't say a lot
What I hate the most is being put on the spot
But I only have one voice and I hate to use it
Sometimes I hate talking; I wish I could lose it
When I do want to use it, I just want to scream
I want to yell, shout and everything in between
And when I do want to talk, I speak softly in my head
I repeat them over and over, everything I just said
But I do have one voice and I'm not afraid to use it
I guess I was wrong the first time; I don't want to lose it
