Speak up, speak out They say This is your chance. But, I have no voice. Mind full of thoughts But no voice In which to share them. Around me People are shouting Screaming and banging their fists But I am unable to share a word or whisper That will be heard. Around me, the world is changing Evolving, growing and shrinking My mind is filled with dreams and possibilities But even in a land of free speech, And empowerment I have no voice. So I keep quiet As my mind screams And nothing is done.
