Walk it off, they say.
Let it go, they say.
It’ll all work out, they say.
But what if it doesn’t?
Let it be, they say.
Just leave it, they say.
It’ll all go the right way, they say.
But what if it doesn’t?
What if life doesn’t work that way, I say.
What if life isn’t supposed to work that way, I say.
What if you should stand up for yourself, I say.
What if you should make it an issue, I say.
Quiet down, they say.
Keep your opinions to yourself, they say.
Don’t worry about it, they say.
What you have to say doesn’t matter, they say.
Don’t get people upset, they say.
Quit with the oppositions, they say.
Don’t give us a reason to get back at you, they say.
What you have to say doesn’t matter, they say.
What I have to say does matter, I say.
What I want and believe in means something, I say.
What is right or wrong makes a difference, I say.
I will make an issue I feel it is necessary, I say.
