Powerful


Write,

Because you can’t speak.

Write,

Because they’re looking at you.

Write,

Because they just don’t understand.

Write,

Because you want to tell them something.

Write,

Because you are powerful.

Read,

So they can hear your voice, finally filling the silent air.

Read,

So they can hear your words, making them think twice before they can judge you.

Read,

So those who are silenced, can finally speak.

Read,

So those who are too scared to be vulnerable, can breathe.

Read,

Because you are powerful.

Be,

So you can change their views.

Be,

So you can help those in need.

Be,

So you can write someone a new personality.

Be,

Because you are powerful.

Be,

A poet.
