Stop reciting it like a beautiful ballad
And start screaming it like you're dying
Start saying it with purpose
And without pose
Stop pretending everything is beautiful
When it's really falling to hell
Scream it
Shout it
Wreck it
Make a point with it
Grab their attention
Scream obscenities so that they may be shocked into listening
This is not right
This needs to change
Admire the beauty
But acknowledge and change the pain
