WITHOUT REALIZING IT, EVEN THEN YOU WERE TELLING ME, “BE QUIET! YOU DON’T HAVE A CHOICE!”
THEN WORDS BEGAN TO SPILL FROM MY LIPS, THOUGH FEW AND NOT VERY CONCISE,
I WAS HAPPY TO HEAR THE SOUND OF MY VOICE, BUT IT WAS DROWNED BY ALL THE NOISE.
MAYBE I’M TOO SMALL AND SHOULD WAIT ‘TIL I’M BIGGER TO TRY AND UTTER MY OPINION,
BUT HEY! NEVER MIND MY SIZE; WHAT I’M TRYING TO SAY DOES DESERVE YOUR ATTENTION.
I THINK I’LL WAIT ‘TIL I’M OLD ENOUGH, BY THEN; I’LL BE ABLE TO SILENCE THE CROWD,
I’LL ENTER THE ROOM AND SAY, “YOUR ATTENTION PLEASE!” THIS WILL MAKE BE REAL PROUD.
“AM I NOT OLD ENOUGH NOW TO SAY WHAT I FEEL?
SO WHY CAN’T I GET YOU TO LISTEN?
PLEASE, OH PLEASE! I’VE WAITED MY TURN JUST TO MAKE SOME DECISIONS".
BETTER YET, I SHOULD WAIT UNTIL I BECOME AN ADULT,
BY THEN, MY SIZE SHOULDN’T REALLY MATTER.
I WOULDN’T NEED TO ANNOUNCE MY ARRIVAL; I’LL JUST JOIN IN WITH ALL THE CHATTER.
BUT WAIT A MINUTE! ISN’T THIS WHAT I’VE WAITED ALL MY LIFE TO DO? TO SAY WHAT’S ON MY MIND?
IF IT DIDN’T MATTER THEN, MAYBE IT DOESN’T MATTER NOW, I’LL JUST SAVE IT FOR ANOTHER TIME.
MY VOICE, DOES WORK YOU KNOW; BUT I ONLY HEAR IT WHEN I’M ALL ALONE.
ONE OF THESE DAYS, I’LL BUILD UP THE COURAGE, CAN’T WAIT! I HOPE IT’S SOON.

I can't see how it relates to the topic, though.
Have you tried poetry? I think you might do well.
