We Need Your Help!

We ensure that our young creators are fairly paid for their work, but all the content on VoiceBox remains free for you to enjoy on a safe, ad-free platform. To keep it this way, we rely on the generous support from readers like you.

Please consider making a donation, no matter how small. Every penny goes directly to supporting young creators, and it only takes a minute of your time. Thank you!

Morning People

 

Rustles and coughs,

The sound of a morning,

Bottling up,

The noise it could bring.

 

Little to nothing,

The tension that's building,

The light of a train,

And a depressing sting.

 

Excitement to be damned,

Nothing was there,

Alone in expectation,

No space to care.

 

Living the dream,

Won't be living at all,

Pushing and shoving,

Your way to a door.

 

Way to an ending,

Everyone should want,

Way to end ending,

No one chose to hunt.
