2009 1st Prize Winner High School Poetry Winner Voice She's young yet, and she has no voice. They don't let her decide, she has no choice. She's stuck in her world where liars dwell. Imprisoned in a home where looks will sell. Her life is surrounded by a drowning sin. Prayers are sent in the rising wind. Her innocence long ago was given away. She tries to forget, but the memory wont fade. She's young yet, but her voice is there. No longer will they tell her how much she can bear. She'll no longer cry those burning tears, Deception won't feed at her lasting fears. She's stripping away her crippling chains Escaping through truth, out of all her constraints. Alone it seemed she's never get out. But his presence of love pushed out all her doubt. Don't ever think, you don't have a choice. Even though your young, you have a voice. |
