Speak my mind like I'm preaching
People listen because they can follow
I speak loud and true as if teaching
Their faults and insecurities need to go
My voice revealing a new path to travel
They realize they're not alone in the fight
Hearts beating, life's woes to unravel
Taking surer steps as if given new sight
Unknown to them I keep my struggle
Deaf to my own life changing advice
All my problems and pain, I juggle
Preach without practice, stuck in a vice
I wish I could make my own choice
To wake up and listen to my voice
