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
