What I don't say when I'm told to "Speak up"

Why?

Because, all of a sudden

You plan on listening?

Because my voice

is yours to enjoy on a whim?

Because no one cares

Unless I say what they want to hear?

Because I am

Just another tool?

A pawn in your

Carefully yorchestrated game?

Because you're scared

to let the Balance

Tip away from Utopia to Reality?

 

no

No.

NO.

I will not speak

Not unless you always 

listen
