Speak


I write because it is my way of speaking I write because there are too many that cannot I write because I will not allow myself to be oppressed I write because my hands and thoughts command me to do so I write because silence is not always the answer I write because it is my way of being loud! I write because the world will not suppress me I write because I believe in myself I write because I have family that I love I write because I believe that my words are worth listening to I write because it is how I speak.
