Voice

I’m sorry
Someone told you
That you didn’t
Have a voice

Convinced you

That your thoughts
Didn’t matter

Encouraged you

To be quiet
And watch others
Speak their minds

I’m sorry

No one told you
That your ideas
Could change the world

That your thoughts

Are so much brilliance

That your ideas
Shine like gold

I’m sorry for

What someone
And no one
Told you

They were wrong

Your presence matters

Your voice is needed

And it would be

Such an honor
To hear it
