Speaking out Loud?
Are you kidding?
Saying my words
To be heard?
Too much of a risk
I’d rather you miss
My dreams, my humor, my words
I’m used to be being passed by
I just give a small smile to say hi
It’s fine with me
I’d rather not be
Speaking out loud
Or be heard
But who am I kidding?
Who’s really winning?
Am I helping us all
When I shrink and be small?
Can society evolve
When I play a part?
Does hiding inspire kindness?
Don’t we all have a heart?
Maybe one day
I’ll get brave and say
I am here
I am beautiful
I have something inside
That is bursting to be
Just wait and see
Because starting today
I will be brave
Speaking out loud to be heard.
