My Voice
by Rosalie R.
My voice is like a painting, some don’t get the real meaning.
My voice is like colors; sometimes It’s bland and boring, and other times it’s vibrant.
My voice is like rain, it can be quiet and it can be booming and loud.
My voice is like tea, it’s sometimes nice and sweet but bland & salty
My voice is as silent as a leaf until people come around.
