So long my voice
Has been cut out
Lost among
This raging crowd
And one day someone noticed
That I have a lot to say
And encouraged me
To speak up
And it’s not that I can’t talk
It’s that people
Won’t listen
But maybe one day
I’ll have the courage
To start talking
And never stop till I have
Nothing else to say

this is mainly about having things to say but no one will listen. when i speak my mind, i get put down. when i have something to say, someone speaks over me. i have something to say, and someday, i'm going to be louder than anyone trying to drown me out. i have a voice. and people are going to listen. someday.

This quote is one I made up.....<br /> &quot;You can&#039;t climb a mountian without a harness.&quot; It means that you can&#039;t go where you want to get in life without the help of your friends or family.
