Voices

There are voices in my head

But the loudest one is my own.

The voices in my head could hurt me all they want,

But my own voice will tune them out.

I can make up my own mind.

They tell me I'm useless, unloved, weird.

But my voice says I'm different, special, one of a kind.

I don't want to fit in the crowd, I want to stand out.

Be my own person, have my own voice, share my own thoughts with the world.

These voices in my head won't hold me back because they are unimportant.

They aren't there, they are just my thoughts creating their own life.

I'll use my voice and be heard.

Beautifully said my dear. I'm a square peg in a circle world! I wouldn't have it any other way and neither should you

I absolutely love this! Love that strength and power in your words. It's a good reminder for people like me who have a hard time remembering to be confident in oneself, and it's a very uplifting piece.

"I can make up my own mind.
They tell me I'm useless, unloved, weird.
But my voice says I'm different, special, one of a kind."

That has to be my favorite section from this poem. Good work! :)

Determination in your lines. Listen to your own voice. It is strong and the only one you need to take note of. The others aren't worth listening to. Ignore them. As you say they are unimportant. Nicely conveyed poetry.

yes, the only voice that matters is your own voice that says you are strong enough to withstand and/or accomplish anything in life.
Many can relate to this poem...and take heed.
