Voice

Hello? Is anyone listening? I'd like to say something.

It's not that I don't have an opinion. I'm just out of practice at giving it. My voice has never been loud and often not asked for, so for years I sat and let my thoughts collect on themselves and along the way never really learned how to properly express myself. My insecurities creep up and I remain silent to appease the lies they tell me.

"No one else thinks that." "What authority do you have?" "You'll be a hypocrite if you say that."

I've grown tired of being silent and through writing I'm finding my voice again. It's sounds distant at time and a little weak, but I'm strengthened in my weaknesses.

So, what is it I want to say? Listen and I'll tell you.
