[voice]

  

For the longest time
I had no clue
what my voice sounded like

all I knew
for certain
was that I loved to sing.


Recently,
someone told me what
I sound like.

What she said posed a
                  challenge
greater than any challenge
I've ever faced.

And it silenced me.


I'd rather not kow
how my voice affects you,
how powerful
or not
it can sound.


I'd rather not know;
I ask you though
to listen.

My words are true.
You can count on me.

Ask anyone who knows me
                          well
there are very few.

(I'm not easy to know)

They'll tell you though,

I'm always true.
