Two Voice Poem

Both Voices

Voice 1 (girl)

Voice 2 (girl)

I'm in love.

I've been married to my husband for 5 years.

I'm looking forward to getting married to my wife.

I'm happy.

I get to live with my husband and daughter.

I get to live with my wife.

I have hope.

I want to move into a new house with my family .

I want people to accept my family and who I am.

My friends understand me.

They are happy I have enough money to move.

My friends are happy I have freedom now.

          This is a two voice poem I wrote about gay marriage. It compares the lives of two people--a straight person who is married (Voice 1), and a gay person who wants to get married soon (Voice 2). Voice 1 is happy and can finally move into her own house, and Voice 2 is happy and can finally get married. This shows two people in different situations, but both finally get what they've wanted for a long time. It shows how gay people are happy they finally have the freedom to get married.
