Clarifying Thoughts



“I’ve been quiet for too long
And I don’t want to be silent any longer.”
You expressed something
That’s been rattling around
In my soul for the last few months.

I’ve was voiceless for too long
It’s time to speak up, to be seen
I won’t be bullied by society anymore
I need to speak up for those who can’t

Part of me feels fear
Fear of repercussions for the people I love
Yet…
I need to speak and be heard
Not speaking means silencing the heart

Life gives us an opportunity
To step out of your comfort zone
To grow means pushing forward
Stepping into the unknown
Makes your heart beat a little faster
