My Voice Is
By Tava
My voice is stuck
Between the real self
And the person I want to be
Who is the person I want to be?
It’s the person people want to see
A person that keeps quiet
A person that society wants
A person who ‘behaves’
Could the self be defined
Without society’s standards?
Is there such a thing
As the self?
With the personalities
And looks
That society has taught us?
If I grew in the mountains, the trees,
Next to the water
Would I have been louder?
