Speak completely
Don't skip, you'll stumble, upon your words
And when you choke, you will turn
Away your face in shame and defeat
Speak completely.


Speak completely.
For when you hide your words
Your tongue will weaken
The life in your eyes will fade away.
And all you exhale is what you wanted to say.
Speak completely.


Speak completely
For your thoughts will crowd and collect
Inside of your head.
Swimming and swirling
Waiting to be said.
You try to ignore them
But they keep you up as you lie in bed.
Speak completely.


Speak completely
There are people who listen and care
And think and share your thoughts.
Please don't be scared to
Speak completely.


Speak completely
because the world goes on
While you remain reserved
Without ever knowing
Who you were.
Speak completely.


Speak completely
For your words are powerful, bright, and beautiful.
You could meet people
who find you fascinating and gifted.
Your words could carry you far and high
away from your dismal disposition.


But you are the one
who hides in a cave
And drowns yourself in echoes.


But you are the one
who hides in a cave
And drowns yourself in echoes.


who hides in a cave
And drowns yourself in echoes.


And drowns yourself in echoes.


In echoes.


Echoes.


Speak completely.
