Your Voice Matters

For anyone who has witnessed

Your voice being silenced, your ability to freely express

Yourself taken away from you, you should realize

That your voice is powerful, otherwise

Why would someone try to silence it anyway

Your oppressors know you have something noteworthy to say

That would destroy their fragile sense of superiority

Therefore silencing those perceived as weaker is for them a priority..

*

When your freedom of expression is restricted

Your self-esteem becomes increasingly constricted

You start believing your voice is inconsequential

You end up stifling your own potential

This way you end up proving them right

You give them what they want without a fight

*

Even if you are being silenced, do not lose

Your voice, instead make an effort to choose

Another avenue to make your voice heard

From self-expression, do not let yourself be deterred
