Silencing Yourself

I said they were

The reason I was so quiet

Because they were

Not interested in

What I had to say.



But the truth is

No one has the power

To keep your lips sealed;



No one can stop you

From saying what you

Believe and stand for.



You have the same

Freedom of speech

As any other person.



Use it because

There are so many

People in other countries

Without these same rights.
