Voices

I've recently started to discover what my voice is in this world.  I can write what I'm thinking a whole lot better than I can say it out loud.  Anyone else?    People say I'm quiet.  Well I am, but only with people I don't know.  I wrote this a little over a year ago while watching the singing show The Voice, after someone told me, yet again, that I am 'so quiet'.
  The Voice
Having a voice doesn't mean you need vocal chords
Having a voice doesn't mean you need words
Having a voice means standing up for yourself
Having a voice means not sitting on a shelf
Making yourself heard doesn't take sound
Express yourself using what you've found
helps you get your point across
Introverts find it easier to write
Extroverts might talk to anyone in sight
A loud voice is not required to put your opinions out there
Speaking up doesn't have to involve raising your voice or using more air
My voice can be heard
because people stop and listen as if it were a bird
tweeting its soft lyrical tune
in the morning and afternoon
and I make that my voice

Find your voice, hold on to it tight, and use it to help others.
