Speak Up, Speak Out


Speak up, speak out Too scared, too shy Can’t trust myself to even try Stick with what’s familiar Follower not a leader But what am I scared of? Will I be heard? Well, I won’t know until I say single word. So speak up, speak out Come out of the background And use your voice to carry the sound.

I simply enjoyed reading this, since I am a shy quiet person attempting to speak out a little more than I had before.
