MY VOICE

If I could talk, what would I say?  
Would I use my words in a major way?  
Will the world listen to my aggressive voice,  
Or would they walk away and leave me with remorse?  

Don't tell me the answer, just leave me lonely.  
My heart can't take another person being phony.  
So just leave me out here on the ocean shore  
To talk to the only person who loves me more.  

It's not the air but the shadow of my mind  
That blocks the sun when it's trying to shine.  
So I'm going to speak my words from negative to positive,  
Influencing myself to think clearly more often.  

I'm going from a doubt of fear to believing in myself,  
Start talking with aggression to everyone else.  
No more being self-conscious and talking in silence;  
My voice is now going to be heard, no more being quiet.  

I know when I speak, I'm going to be a force to be reckoned with.  
No more being in the background; I'm making an emotional shift.  
I'm taking over the world until death silences me,  
So everyone be aware my voice is going to be a masterpiece!
