If I wanted to be


If I wanted to be heard I'd:

shout from a rooftop

sign a petition

crash a party

defy a teacher

write an article

call a tv station

or simply

TALK

 

But I don't do these things because I'm:

scared

insecure

unsure

oblivious

hiding

living

or simply

UNCARING

 

But it doesn't matter anymore becasue I'm:

speaking now

making a difference

finding my way

learning the steps

learning to pray

taking a chance

and finally

letting myself be HEARD
