lyrics

Voice! Think of who is gonna read this
How shall I sound so the reader best can heed this?
It needs to sound committed, engaging, and sincere
Expressing my own self like, like I’ve got something I want you to hear!
You in particular, the audience in mind
A different audience would bring a voice of a different kind
And I communicate, and bring my topic to life
With honesty, conviction, and humor for some spice
And it's original. This comes from me myself
Voice is not from someone else's book up on a shelf!

How do you want your readers to feel?
Show some interest in the topic and let it seem real!
Your voice gives your writing personality and spice
If it sounds like you, you know you’ve got it just right!
