I am the one who is silent
Because I cannot speak
But poetry is my voice
In this world it is my choice
I am small I am weak
but my spirit can't be beat
For I have the strength
to speak the truth
With these words that come out smooth
People see and people hear
But people are afraid to draw near
To a man who puts himself in front of a crowd
To the man who shouts "Your time is now!"
I've been that man
I've rocked that show
While the devil draws me to the floor
I may be weak
but I can standp
For poetry lends a helping hand.
