TITLED
by Kyana Ellis
Wheresoever you plod
Veering from path to path
If you hold close what deeply matters
The voice has no hold upon you
So fill the basin of your soul with life,
Divinity, passion, and the soft-spoken trees
And when over it brims let it sink into your
vocal cords;
Let your singing spirit banish unpleasantries
Strong we are, though flawed
Uniquely ourselves with powerful quality
While we may listen to the voices plaguing us
What matters is again listening to ourselves
So leap and bound in joyousness
Fill your emotions with warmth from the sun
Dance for joy in the devilry
For we are bearing this voice, and blessed
Kyana is the 1st
place winner in
the Poetry
category for this
year's Teen
Writing Contest.
