Hey, guess what, another English assignment. It seems to be a reoccurring theme, huh? This poem was modeled after the poem “Harlem” by Langston Hughes.

I too, am a Voice to be heard

I too, am a voice to be heard,

But I am shot down.

No one listens to me,

I am shunned aside.

“Why listen to her,

She is too young,”

Say the older and wiser

But one day I will stand up.

No more will I be pushed aside,

No more will I be ignored.

I too, am a voice to be heard.
