Freedom speaks

Things are so quiet Letters don’t soar No one talks at all They try but they fail Inaudible words excel Forever i think that words don’t have sound Only emotions can turn the world around That's what we were taught We were taught that we shall be silenced That words won’t break us free That we should take actions We were taught to throw the first punch Instead of using our words, we used anger To satisfy our vengeance hunger We weren't taught good actions from bad We were praised for having violence And bad emotions targeting people We were taught that words were flagrant and should be banned We silenced the only people who took a good stand We were too scared so we didn’t talk So whenever someone used words We were desperately shocked Even though some who visited never knew that we could understand Or hear the words they used Words do hurt I may say But i’d rather hear those distressing words meant to hurt Than be silenced and have no stand So that day I got up too I used my words Those thoughts I kept in for so long I Spoke my mind forever as time will go on -Dawn.B
