I am tired
of being told
that I shouldn’t
express what
I think and
who I
am
yes,
I know it’s
in my best
interest
the world is never
ready for somebody
to challenge their
ideas
but I’m tired of that
this needs to happen
if I won’t speak up,
who will?
passiveness got me
no where
activeness has always
seemed to work
I know the risks,
the issues, what
can happen if I
go to far, but I
live in an age
where anyone
can say anything
and that alone
is worth exploiting
so I will say what I think,
what I believe in, how the
world should be!
I will scream it from the rooftops!
from the hills and in the valleys!
my voice will reign through the land
and as more ears turn
to face me and learning
sets in I will give one
fair caution to those
out there listening:
I may not be right,
I may well be wrong
don’t worship my prophesies
take them, and make your
own
