You spoke about leaving
So often and for so long
That I didn't believe
You'd ever be gone

I have no mouth and
I must scream
I'm going down
It's all a dream
Losing function,
It's ceaseless
Flabbergasted
I'm speechless.

Praying with anticipation
Hoping the time never appears,
when the mind quits, the heart splits and life is held with a loosened grip.
Be Brave, Be Fearless
Be Strong, Be Bold
Lock hands, take heart and don’t let go
Reach out, speak out and let us know
Promise
When your ready
You’ll be guided towards the right road.

i was a little girl
you where a grown man
i had no say
you acted upon your own sin
you took my flower
i was too young to know
at the time you had the power
to that i say no more
you are a filthy demon of the night
i am a ****** by heart and its my own right
you rot in your own filth
forever a beast you will be
i have many choices of who i want to be
a writer, a painter, psychologist, or musician
i have a life that is worth living
you may have taken my flower but my words still remain
you thought you had the power
but you're only insane

She let him put his hands on her
She let him control her
She let him abuse her,
She let him misuse her, and mistreat her
She was too weak to say no to love
So she took in all the pain while she died from within

"That is wrong... wait no, that is right "
AGH! stop it society, let me live life.
let me tell you the definition of society in my eyes
|sə'sāııti|adjective (pl.societies) a giant butcher that cuts freedom and imagination with a knife
To be part of it sometimes feels like you live a lie
and the only time you notice is when you die
Let us who are "different" rise and be the difference
change the mindset for our generation and our children.
because all change in the mindset ,starts within
let the rise of the Minority, begin...
With you.

From the sounds echoed behind juvenile play-figures
To the vocal vibrations that reflect nothing but wonders,
Her voice deepens with every height she reach’
Sharpened in the spine of every speech.
Her voice gets louder as the vocal cords grow wider,
Penetrating through dimensions like a path finder,
Echoing through space and times
Compelled by ignorant minds.
Her voice awakens the deaf with larger ears
And puts to sleep loud mouths with smaller ears.
Hear her voice as she’s about to speak
And don’t let her silence say that she is weak.
Let her voice out this acquired volume of integrity,
Let her voice pierce through generations with simplicity.
Let her tone be comprehensive
And the melody as impressive.
*Your voice has ripened through the ages
You can now soothe pains of all stages
Use your voice to change a nation
And watch as it rejoices from liberation.*
Break the silence.

Come on,
say something.
Are you there?
Is there something
in the atmosphere
for you to not hear?
Are you alright?
I'm talking to you,
have you lost your sight?
I know you have eyes
because I can see them
just fine.
Can you speak English?
If you could,it would be kind
for you to speak, that way
we can finally greet.
Please speak,are you sick?
Is there something wrong
with your throat?
Does it burn, or itch?
No, Then what is it?
Are you afraid of me?
I'm very sweet and humorous,
so don't worry about me.
I won't hurt you, you'll see.
I can totally sense
that you're reclusive,
so you don't see the point
in making any friends.
Honestly, you can't
just tell yourself that
your better off alone...
But your not,
people like you
don't deserve
to be alone.
You need to get out
of that zone because
one day you'll end up
all active and grown
with nobody to share
your adventures with,
but your own.
Therefore, it's time
to build friendships
that is worth known.
So don't be afraid
to say anything
you seem like
a good person
anyway.
Now tell me, what's your name?
"Keyana"
Thanks for speaking out.

Monotone voice
doesn't really speak
and when it does people start to sleep
monotone voice
doesn't really sing
not even with the strum of a guitar string
Monotone voice
doesn't really talk
because when it does people start to walk

How cowardly it
is to hide behind the scenes
and play puppeteer,
while my children are starving
in the streets your Benz drives through.
How selfish it is
to ignore paying taxes,
while I scrape and search
for meaningless currency,
with auditors on my ***
How luxurious
it must be to slumber in
silk and satin sheets,
while my unclad family
bunches together for warmth.
Oh, the nerve I have
to speak loudly against those
harboring every
cent, while there are thousands of
us without one to our names.

Our world is accepting of anything
that doesn't condemn it's actions
speak out against the hate
promise change
require everything
and is unable to be wrong.
And this my friend is why the world hated Christ
Christ called them what they were
he said it as it was
he made people uncomfortable with where they were
he urged people to change
required everything they had
asked them to forsake all they knew
and follow him
and the world stood by and looked at him
some accepted him
some laughed at him
but that didn't stop him
no, he kept begging for their souls
pleading for their lives
and eventually he even died for them
and some accepted him
and others mocked him
refusing to accept this perfect man
God's only son
but it doesn't matter if they mock
because one day they will
all have to answer to him

there’s always so much that i want to say,
but society makes me keep it at bay.
what will they think if i blurt out that
check this out what a truck load of crap
instead i’ll sit quietly at the back and just listen
and keep what i know in case they all start trippin
then someone said, just let it all go.
you might help someone out you don’t even know
she said don’t let others rule over you
the battle is lost and won within you.
so, if you have something to say
say it with love and blow them away.

Raise your voices high
Lift your banner to the sky
Shout what you believe.

This goes out to all that choose,
To suffer in silence
As if it can’t be subdued
The people that think,
Not even a shrink
Could understand their feelings
Even if written in ink
This goes out, to all the brave souls,
That navigate their ship
Alone to their goals
The kind that believe
That their inner beliefs
Only upset others
Making silence, your grief
It’s time to wake up!
Speak your words,
Listen up
The time has come now,
To stop this hiccup
People will judge what we do, and we may not like it
But if you never speak out,
You’ll get trapped in your psychs grip
Lonely and cold
Walking a winding dark road
Without human emotion
From others to be bestowed
Upon you, cause it’s true
Everything that we do
Has it’s place in this world
Through venom and virtue
We may no be perfect
But there’s nothing that is
Even the universe was created
Through the concept of this
Imperfection introspections
Helps us learn our life lessons
So speak up and speak out
Before your inner-self lessens

I'm in here
Tangled beneath untamable vines of conformity

This is the end of 'tomorrow's
And 'maybe's and 'sorta's and 'shrugs'
This is the end of beginnings
That never amount to His love
This is the end of the water
That's lukewarm, not cold and not hot
This is the end of just saying
That we'd rather just sit here and rot.
This is the end of your sorrows
That are given more attention and care
Than the unmourned deaths of the millions
Who die without knowing He's there.
This is the end of the judgement
We all so readily give
To those who just needed a Savior
And who now don't see why they should live.
This is the end of the 'nervous'
Where you don't speak 'cause you're afraid
This is the start of your courage
Where you stand up 'cause you're not ashamed.
