By Lucie Phillips, Year 11
I think about the thoughts that take up space inside my mind.
I picture them detained, never expressed only confined.
I feel the pressure building up yet I’m consumed with doubt.
I don’t think that I’m strong enough to make the words come out.
I wish I’d gain in confidence and make my voice be heard.
I wish I could speak clearly yet my words come out as slurred.
I sense that time is ticking by and all has gone to waste.
I know that now is time to act so I will act with haste.
