Be loud not quiet.



Are you afraid to speak to your mind?
Why?
Don't allow others to intimidate you,
Not others will understand or agree with you,
Speak your truth,
Speak your mind not be their puppet,
Who cares what others think or say,
Everyone has an opinion,
Opinions of others don't matter,
The opinion of yourself is what you think,
Not what everyone else thinks,
People always gonna have an opinion.

Don't silence yourself,
Be loud and be clear,
Don't suffer in silence,
Cry out loudly so your voice is heard,
That pain needs to be seen and heard,
Your cries matter don't ever think they don't,
Can't help you if nobody knows about your pain.

It's not what you say but how you say it,
Speak your mind but speak respectfully,
No need to hurt others because your hurting,
Heal your pain not spread your pain.
