Write a poem or letter about one way you feel misunderstood 3 months, 1 weeks ago
My Own
My own is strong and fearless
It has scars but is fearless.
It has been silenced and shooed.
But now stands tall and renewed.My own is purposeful and unique.
It tells a story that has made its peak.
It shines light into those who are weak and provides words for those who cannot speak.My own is beautiful and bold.
It has depth and is precious as gold.
It seeks value and truth.
The love of my own can never be renewed.My own is my voice. It’s my weapon of choice.
Sometimes misunderstood but protected from all the noise.
It’s powerful and worthy, standing out no matter the journey.Always pondering on where marks were made.
Never wanting to feel betrayed.
My own fills dark rooms with light
Something that will be worth the fight.Voting is open!

I love how you describe your voice as your “weapon of choice” because our voices really do hold that power. Thank you for sharing your experience!
