Talk quietly, be careful, p.c
Talk loundly ? No can do this is not polite, let me sign my name to your words instead and hope for the best
Talk in my head, on my wall, out loud to myself in bed
Sing not talk the words I maybe afraid to say, let them speak for me, I can relate
Talk out of fire and passion and risk upsetting children, my friends and family
Talk out of turn and lose my job. Nothing nice to say just shut up, you need this job !
But I hate it !
Talk louder in a message written to push buttons, think proactively and feel more
Cry in my head, out loud
Oh just forget it, not helpful
Must stay positive for their sake
Scream silently, not wanting to upset anyone, am I losing my mind
Scream louder, no I am losing my mind?
Yell, that’s going to get me noticed in the wrong ways!
I’m not a famous activist, I’m too weird
Yell, but this is not a march or a rock concert
This is not appropriate
Yell I hate the way some of us have forgotten about what humanity is
Yell I hate the hypocrites and the fundamentalists
Yell I hate that we can’t all see what we have in common rather than what we don’t
Yell I hate that I hate this is not me
Yell I hate that this rage is in me and I don’t have enough influence to help make positive change
Yell I hate seeing people and ALL animals in pain
Yell I want positive change
Yell I did plenty and now I don’t care who cuts me out anymore
Yell because you won’t hear me
Yell until I lose my voice
Yell in this poem and don’t care if it doesn’t motivate you anymore
Yell who is with me ?
