We Have a Voice
We have a voice.
A voice to be heard,
A voice to be listened to,
A voice to be reckoned with.
We have a voice.
So don’t tell us to wait for your approval.
Don’t tell us to let the “adults handle it”.
Don’t put us down.
And don’t try to silence us,
Because we will be heard.
We have a voice,
Each and every one of us.
Each child and teenager,
Has a voice.
With that voice we have the power to unite,
To lead,
Or to follow,
As is our choice.
To change the world,
For better and for good.
Alone we are a voice,
A splash of color on a blank canvas.
Together we are a movement,
A picture painted in technicolor.
You have a voice.
Every child and teenager out there,
Hear my call.
You have a voice.
Don’t let it be silenced.
Dare to speak out and be heard.
You have a voice.
Use it.

Thank you
I like how truthful it is. I hate how parents are the ones viewed as the wise, as the people who know the most. While that may be true for some of them, most of them know nothing about life these days.
I really liked it. 5 stars and a favorite. :)
Inspirational and beautiful :)
It brought tears to my eyes .
