Finding your voice

I can hear a voice,

 but it does not represent what I want to say.

I am irritated,

 not by the voice,

  but by everyday happenstance.

Now,

 this means I could go on a rant,

   but I try to avoid those.

I prefer to try to think rationally.

The voices I hear are all of my complaints.

They are trying to drown out the rest.

Life shares many voices.

I prefer the ones full of creation.

 I sing along with the voices of hope.

I add mine to a wish for change.

Still,

  I am searching for my voice.

All I can try is to give an image.
Part of telling a story!

I can so relate to wanting to drown out all the negatives, but sometimes those thoughts are so loud

[Jon Roggie]

The negatives are always going to be there, and some do have a point. I listen, and choose. Some of them are just irritations.
