I Will be Heard
I am strong
because I am loud.
I am fearless
because I refuse to be silenced.
I am proud
because I speak my mind.
I will be heard.
All around me
people cry from
hunger
thirst
loneliness
an inability to be who they are.
I will not stand idely by.
I will not stay silent.
I will be heard.
Some are
AFRAID
to speak
to sing
to be heard.
I will speak for them.
I will be heard.
I will not be silenced until all is
equal.
Until all is
right.
Until there is no
fear.
I
Will
Be
Heard.
