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!

Redesign

What job do you have?

What are you working as?

Confined to the social constraints of society, 

the air of dissatisfaction lingers when my response doesn’t fit inside the binary boundaries. 

 

Work to live, don’t live to work

They say.

But what if my utopia is different,

Doesn’t align with yours, 

Do I need to redesign what I'm living for?

 

Home

Does it need to be a place, I say?

When I found home in you today.

 

They ask me, where’s home to you?

I say a feeling, not a place,

Home’s where I feel comfort

 

It’s in you, today. 

 

Words

Too many, or too little

I try to raise my voice,

I’m belittled,

I speak up,

I stare down, 

No where to look, turn 

Or feel found.

More for you
