I HAVE A VOICE

Don’t be afraid to speak your mind

I HAVE A VOICE,
EVEN THOUGH IGNORANT
TO THE LITERARY WORLD
AND UNKNOWN
TO THE POETIC UNIVERSE,
I HAVE A VOICE.

I SPEAKS FROM THE MOST POWERFUL
AND COMPLEX NERVOUS SYSTEM
IN THE HUMAN BODY,
THE MIND, MY MIND,
I HAVE A VOICE.

I CAN RELATE TO THE PRESENT,
UNDERSTAND THE HISTORY
OF THE PAST,
AND FORECAST THE FUTURE,
BASED ON LESSONS LEARNED,
I HAVE A VOICE.

EXPERIENCES HAS TAUGHT ME,
MISTAKES HAVE WARNED ME,
FAILURES HAS SHAPED ME,
AND BETRAYAL HAS TAUGHT ME
EMPATHY AND FORGIVENESS,
YES!
I HAVE A VOICE.

Hi my friend. We all have the ability to do and become better if we so choose.
Every experience.. ever lesson learned.. lays the foundation for a better life.. When we capitalize on on the past, present, and apprehend the future.
Thats my take on it.
Thank you Rob. Bless up.
