Maybe this is my story?
This is where I chose if I live or die
if I do what is wrong or right
but even in my death
I will raise my voice
my time is almost up
so hopefully
hopefully my shout will echo
echo into the masses of people
hopefully
hopefully my shout will echo
echo into the canyons of those who crouch in cowardice
hopefully
hopefully my shout will echo
echo into the spaces of the silent still too scared to speak
Hopefully
hopefully my cry of defiance
will echo farther than ever before
hopefully
hopefully people will not only hear my shout
but that their hearts will listen also
and hopefully
hopefully
hopefully a few will stand up
Inspired by Hans and Sophie Scholl.
This is not the full poem either, but this is one of my favorite parts.
