I Had A Voice

I Had A Voice

A Poem by Melanie Jane Boicourt Shanks

I had a voice 
 Inside of me 
 Trying to get out 
 Trying to break free 
 Tied up and locked 
 Without a key 
 Like a bird in a cage 
 Instead of a tree 

 I had a song 
 That came to me 
 Full of rhythm 
 And harmony 
 I'd write it down 
 But it would plea 
 For me to sing 
 It's melody.

A soulful voice that struggles to be heard. We hear you, dear poet.
