'My Voice Matters' written by A.Cena, 14 years old

I have a voice

To express my feelings

To speak my mind

To explain my pain

I have a voice

To say what I'm feeling

To say right from wrong

To help out those in need

I have a voice

To laugh

To grieve

To sing

I have a voice

To love and encourage others

To be me

To dream

I have a voice

To speak

To write

To accomplish all these things

I have a voice

And so do you
