A Poem about Myself

May 14, 2010
By Anonymous

This is a poem about myself
And the way that I have always felt
The fear and depression within my soul
Will soon be turned from light to coal

The people who yell “oh you’re gay!”
Is that the fee that I must pay?
For a voice so high I can not control
Don’t they know that’s not my role?

The hole that they have drilled in my heart
It’s almost ready to spilt apart
The fear and depression within my soul
Has now been turned from light to coal

I've been made fun of because of my high voice for most of my life so i decided to write a poem about it.

Be who you are and say what you feel.... Because those that matter... don't mind... And those that mind... don't matter.

Doesn't matter, the people who truely care about you will care about you even if your voice isn't exactly normal.

I'm a girl that's going throught that time when my voice jumps eight octaves with each sentence!

This is a beautiful poem and so true! If people don't like you then they aren't worth convincing. Be yourself and be proud.
