My voice is crying out
Can you hear me?
It cuts through the stifling silence
The silence others force upon me
But I defy them
Hear me!
My voice represents many
The ones with opinions
That were crushed and hidden
Before they could be heard
The ones that are scared
Because they don't want
to be hurt again
And the ones who cannot
Use their own voices
Because they were silenced
You cannot silence me
I represent them all
I am their voice
And I will be heard.
