I HAVE A VOICE

Don’t be afraid to speak your mind

I HAVE A VOICE

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.

I agree with your take, you are very inspiring on hear and are relentless in sharing all of you, that speaks volume about your strength as I know it’s hard to write about tougher struggles but I also know the power that comes with it and the help it brings others! You’re a BIG PART of my transformation and growth! I appreciate our friendship and your poetry talents! 👊🏻👍RG
