He looked so happy as there lips parted I was full of rage,
He was not aware I was watching and I wish I wasn’t,
He cheated on me; pain filled my heart before it snapped,
My mind had one thing on its mind, Revenge,
I want him to feel the same pain that a feel at this moment,
I start running and didn’t stop till I got home then I called him,
He answered with a voice full of happiness,
This makes me cringe,
“Hello, Would you like to have dinner at 6:00 to night?”
He asks but his tone tells me that he dose not want to,
I don’t want to, he will just break my heart again
“Sure,” I whisper into the phone, he said goodbye,
Hangs up and I’m left with the emptiness of my mind,
I think, till I find my answer
For dinner I pick an amazing dress and head out.
He stares when he see me,
I have never looked so beautiful for him,
We talk, eat, laugh, and smile,
“I Love You,” these words slip out of him mouth
Now he is a cheater and a liar,
He waits, waits and waits for me to say I back,
I stay silent,
He becomes red and a start to laugh
His embarrassment turns to anger,
I laugh Harder,
“You don’t love me you cheater! I saw you
Prove that you love me?”
In one movement he was at my side,
He kissed my so passionately that I wanted to forgive him,
He lets go smiling the same way he smiled earlier
With another girl,
I slap him across the face and left,
Still hoping to fix my broken heart,
He was not aware I was watching and I wish I wasn’t,
He cheated on me; pain filled my heart before it snapped,
My mind had one thing on its mind, Revenge,
I want him to feel the same pain that a feel at this moment,
I start running and didn’t stop till I got home then I called him,

If no one ever marries me,—
And I don’t see why they should,
For nurse says I’m not pretty,
And I’m seldom very good—
If no one ever marries me
I shan’t mind very much;
I shall buy a squirrel in a cage,
And a little rabbit-hutch:
I shall have a cottage near a wood,
And a pony all my own,
And a little lamb quite clean and tame,
That I can take to town:
And when I’m getting really old,—
At twenty-eight or nine—
I shall buy a little orphan-girl
And bring her up as mine.
—Laurence Alma-Tadema

I may only be One Voice,
But my One Voice is important because without my One Voice we could never have one million Voices.
my one Voice stands for ME.
what I think.
what I believe in.
and who I am.
My Voice is unique
But so is every other Voice
and every Voice is important*
So let your Voice be heard, be One in a million Voices
*not part of the original poem:
Important because millions of voices can create a defaning roar.
