Learn To Express

 Refuse to remain silent

Be the captain of your own plane

Be your own pilot

Don't keep it hush hush

We have so much on our mind

But are scared to say much

Why have a voice if you don't use it?

Why have a gift if you abuse it?

You can express yourself

Just have to be willing to do it

You can say what you want, without speaking a word

Talking isn't the only way one's voice can be heard

Poetry has taught me this

The most powerful messages often are unspoken

Put a pen to paper

And you'll see what greatness can be awoken

I don't do it for praise

Don't need a medal or token

Let the world know about what lies inside of you

And as the great William Shakespeare said

"To thine own self be true".
