Don't Let It

Sometimes I wish words were never spoken,

but those words can't be erased.

Sometimes I wish there is no one around me,

but people will always stare.

Sometimes I wish my voice would make a sound,

but the sound isn't always there.

Sometimes I wish I wasn't afraid to speak,

but fear is what controls me 

 

But fear won't control me today,

because I am not afraid to speak.

And the sound will be there,

because my voice will make it.

And people will stare

because I want them too.

And words won't be erased

because I want them spoken.

 

Fear once controlled me,

for I let it.

Fear will do the same to you,

don't let it.
