Breaking the mold


During an era when we were bound and silenced,

We chose to speak up,

No matter the consequences.

 

Now in a time when we are "free",

We stay quiet.

We let others fight our battles,

And get shot down.

We do nothing.

 

Since we were young,

We have been silenced. 

We have been molded into the next generation.

 

We need to break the mold.

We need to be the generation who fights.

The ones who speak up.

We need to stand up for what is right,

Even if we are standing alone.

 

Togther,

We will be the generation who speaks up.
