I am a voice
yet to be heard
yet to be spoken
I am a speaker
yet to learn the language
yet to hear the audience
I am the audience member
yet to appreciate the voice
yet to understand how to listen

I really like the line, "I am a speaker, yet to learn the language, yet to hear the audience."  That line is very strong, thanks for providing this,
