UNiQUE              
(voice...personality, the whole shebang folks!)


I must admit, I know, I own
a voice, unique
Of broken moulds, I challenge throne
with tongue in cheek
I cannot help how I was born
This badge is all I've known and worn
Most tell me I'm astride that peak
my voice, unique

They say I'm just like fresh cologne
with verbs I tweak
Though out of box, there's times I'm prone
to harsh critique
Compelled to write what float's me boat
My subjects so obscure; remote
I'm pigeon-holed, then labelled "FREAK"
with voice unique

A different hum within my drone
I somehow seek
Mundane to star and stand alone
as pen will leak
I have to work with cards I'm dealt
Which sometimes isn't smart or svelte
I've done the paddle up shit creek
in voice, unique

I feel that I've improved and grown
my word boutique
And round these parts I'm quite well known
for loony streak
But I won't change, I can't sell out
Those bucks are not what I'm about
It's fair to say my word physique:
One voice, unique

Uncommon phrase I've shared and shown
from mouth or beak
Same niche you'll find, if you so hone
your own technique
Stay true to self, unlike those sheep
Whose writing sends us off to sleep
Incite a crowd, express - yes speak
YOUR voice, unique!
