I'm young and I shouldn't preach but at least listen to me speak. I have dreams about what this world could be. I have ideas on how we could be and to discredit me based solely on my youth tells me more about you than you could ever tell me. Who silenced you when you were young? Who taught you that the younger generation is dumb? Who taught you it was okay to silence those youthful tongues? Who silenced you you silencer?

The Silencer
I'm young and I shouldn't preach but at least listen to me speak. I have dreams about what this world could be. I have ideas on how we could be and to discredit me based solely on my youth tells me more about you than you could ever tell me. Who silenced you when you were young? Who taught you that the younger generation is dumb? Who taught you it was okay to silence those youthful tongues? Who silenced you you silencer?
Inexperience is a thing, and i acknowledge that. But don't shut down what a person says just because they're young. Because discussion is also a thing and a much better learning tool than telling people to shut up.
