You choose to be quiet
But your silence is just as loud
Words left unsaid
Emptiness
But there is a reason you don't talk
You're too smart for them anyways
But there are always things to learn
There are always things to say
Talk to the heartbroken ones
Who know how to cut ties
To move on
To continue despite the missing piece
Talk to the lost ones
Who know how to handle loneliness
To value time
To be found again
Talk to the ambitious ones
Who know how to always hunt for more
To never stop
To keep going no matter what
Talk to the loving ones
Who know how to care for everyone
To have hope
To be kind to all living things
Talk to the leaders
Who know how to get people to listen
To spread ideas
To take charge and get things done
Talk to the followers
Who know how to communicate with others
To work hard
To value determination and development
Talk to the royals
Who know how to understand luxury
To be fearless
To make the hard decisions
Talk to people
Speak up
And hear what they have to say
And they will hear you
Some people deserve your silence
But hushed voices all the time
Will get you no where
Will get you no one
An absence of your words
Is a loss of life
A loss of existence
A forgotten story
Your mind is beautiful
You are beautiful
So good and pure and amazing
But oh, your words could kill
*****
Please talk. Please listen. I want to hear your beautiful voice- it will empower others to stand up and speak out.
