You Have a Voice

Take off your makeup.
Wash it all away.
Back up. 
Look in the mirror now.
Is this really who you are?
Another face in this crowd?
Take a step nearer now.
You have a voice. 
You can use it or hide it,
It's your choice.
Will you lead or follow?
Are you really hollow?
Would you take a chance,
Or would you run and hide.
Will you choose to stand against this madness?
Or will you be washed away?
The time has come,
For us to choose. 
Will we hide our face,
Or will we embrace. 
I will embrace myself. 
I won't change for you. 
You have a voice.  
Use it.
