With This Voice

This is my voice.
Not quiet, but not loud.
Not weak, but not strong.
Not special, but mine.
And with this voice I was given a gift
A gift in which I share with the world
The world a place of both hope and despair
A place where the strong help the weak in the day
Then knock them down in the dark
With this voice I will speak for those without
Without a home
Without a family
Without food without water
Those without hope
Without justice or compassion.
I will speak for those without a voice.
Because while this voice is mine, it is also for those who are less defined.
This is my voice
So give it a listen.

It was originally a class assignment and I ended up liking it more than I thought I would. It was inspired by Shane Koyczan's TED talk
