All it takes

32 6 9
                                    

Sometimes ,all it takes is a raised voice,
A whisper, barely heard beneath the noise,

Thinking I can't hear, my name is spoken,
Sometimes, that's enough to leave me broken.

Other times, all it takes is my own self,
My self-doubt, anger,
Enough to leave me pleading for help,

Mostly, all it takes is a simple ray of light,
A kind face and an honest smile,
To make me stand up and fight,
Make the world less vile, it's enough
I'll be happy and I'll smile.
