Louder

"The time is now!"

By Christiana StraussPublished 8 years ago • 1 min read

Open your mouth

Speak

Don’t be afraid

To make a mistake

For you have a voice

Be loud

If it’s a whisper

Get louder

Speak up

You are strong

Scream if you have too

There is power in your words

Society is a set of chains

Forged by the rich and wicked

And to break them away

Is a sin in their eyes

If you are to rise

And hold up the sun

With hundreds if not thousands more

Just like you

You must hold strong

And not fall to your knees

As they want you to do

Everyday you may feel weak

Not worth time

Nor effort

But giving yourself a chance

Is the first step

In winning this war

Or any war

So from the roof

Get louder

And make the future just as loud
