SPEAK
USE YOUR WORD
USE YOUR TONGUE
YOU CAN CHANGE THE WORLD WITH A SINGLE WORD
I SPEAK AS LOUD AS I CAN
TO BE HEARD
TO SAY
TO SPEAK
TO SING
TO WRITE TO BE
EVERYONE HAS A VOICE,
EVEN IF IT'S SILENT
YOU CAN WRITE
BE HEARD
SPEAK
SPEAK and be heard, or cower and be silent.-Thorns
We Are Stories Feb 2015
I have pressed you so hard upon my head
That I don't think I could ever forget
Those pictures floating around like a group of haunting ghosts,
And when I shut my eyes tight I still hear them boast!

I died at the age of thirteen
When someone on MySpace sent me a link
To some page labeled "nudes here: all free",
And my heart, heavy weighted, proceeded to take a peek!
Oh I wish my eyes never got to see!
I wish I never had to know what is out in front of me!
I had gotten all that I'd wanted!
Little did I know that five years down the road I'd give anything to go back.

Sleep sweet!
That's what they tell me!
As if I never was guilty
Of looking at something so filthy!
Oh my eyes knew!
Oh my mind knew too!
The only thing pulling me closer was the desire
To feel that high and the get higher!
I never needed any spark to start my fire!
All I needed was a thought to get me inspired.

I just want to go back to when I still had any kind of innocence!
Before I knew exactly what ******* is!
I'm still trying my best to find some way to live.

— The End —
