Fury (for my voice)
by Hayle, age 16 from Endeavor Academy
My voice is my strength
It has muscles to let everyone know who the hell I am
and who I will always be
I will always push my voice to its highest point
Releasing all its energy just so I can be heard
I am the voice beneath my skin
I will push so I am heard
I will not live without being heard
My story will be known till the day that I die
I won’t give up on myself
Or my voice
I won’t let myself give up
