It took many years to find my voice. I had to learn how to make people listen and appreciate the word I spoke. When you have things to say and no one will like it becomes a distraction in you like I think. You always keep your thought sealed in and sooner or later you mind feels like it’s about to explode. I believe attaining the attentions of others and being able to inspire people with your thoughts is a gift. It is a power of its own.
In middle school I was worst that invisible; I was seen and not liked. I was powerless and no one was there to save me. I spent most of the days avoiding my school mates and when I saw them I was miserable. I can remember going home and crying almost every night because I was so depressed by the things people say and the way they treated me. I never played at recess or spoke in class because I felt if I wasn’t good at something they would laugh at me. I would wish I was invisible just to get away from it all. When I figured out I could sing in 5th grade I gained a small level of confidence and respect. It was something no one could do as well as me. I used it as a power of my own. It was my ticket to a better life. I t was my gift and I’m glad that I have it. No I sing whenever I can to remind myself of how I moved past everything I went through. Today I feel like there is no one who can scare me because I have knowledge and my own sense of beauty within myself.
