Voices Poem by Sabrina Brown

Maybe if my tears
Were 10 times stronger
Being myself wouldn't be so painful
Or maybe if I've focused on myself
Instead of everyone else
I could concentrate on things that include my family
But maybe
I was just too foolish to realize
The thing that was right in front of me
Like standing right before my eyes
And love was more than a 4 letter word but I needed my voice to be heard
By
Somebody
And it did and I succeeded
So people tell me all the time that there in my voice I sound needed
Like my words wasn't meant for reading
And my lyrics wasn't meant to just be there to encourage you
But for people like you to know what I been through
So when I'm walking around feeling down
You know my feelings
And my true emotions
