I HAVE A VOICE OF MY OWN <br /> <br />I have a voice of my own <br />It is a small quiet voice <br />It does not know violent metaphor <br />And it cannot surprise very much <br />It is a small quiet voice <br />And a quite simple one <br />It loves to think it tells the truth of my soul <br />But no doubt it has its own forms of ironies and deceptions- <br />There are other voices much greater than it <br />Stronger voices and more poetic voices <br />And voices which rightfully more appeal to others <br />But my voice is my voice <br />And it is the one <br />I am trying to <br />speak to you with now.<br /><br />Shalom Freedman<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/i-have-a-voice-of-my-own/
