** I have a Voice**

I have a Voice

Do you, too, have a voice?

If so, we can together feel fine

As I myself, just like you, have a human face

A difference shall be made, for sure, if we together combine.

***

Do you believe, like me, that a voice indeed matters?

And that there are countless zones we can collectively embrace

While you see our complexions not thresholds or identity-papers

And as far as you know we'll be enshrined in the same spirit and by the same grace.

***

I guess we could have the same voice if you feel you are as vulnerable as I am,

Or if you think (that) what counts is the volumes of truths we surely hold to

And the strength of the threads that anchor our lives and keep us calm

Just as a yacht talking to a seashore nail, either wooing it or resorting to

***

You know equally as I do (that) without our inner heartbreaks

We can neither know how a World would feel in the eternal absence of a sunrise

Nor how do tears look would like on a Mom's heart or an orphan’s cheeks
