Being Heard – A Poem by Kelly D. Tolman
Posted by admin on February 27, 2009
I do not hurt enough to write poetry,
Nor do I love enough to try.
I have not the happiness of soul.
But there is a need. LISTEN
to my little voice. I will be
HEARD. The violence is not
strong enough, the passion was not
long enough. If I can raise my
voice LOUD enough, none of the
rest will really matter because by
then you will KNOW who
I am. My desire will be
satisfied and people will
CALL me a poet.

I really like this poem. I found it after hours of searching online for a poem not written by me that describes myself for an English project. I hope you don’t mind that I’m using it. I can relate a lot to this. You’re writing is beautiful.
