I am known for
being soft spoken.
I am familiar
with my low tone
being unheard
or ignored.
It hurts me to think
that what I say
isn't worth
listening to.
But I know,
deep in my heart,
that is not the truth.
There is power
in my voice.
There is strength
in my words.
And even if others
tend to disregard me,
I will not be hushed.
