How might your voice be heard?
Do you write, speak, sing, or dance?
Do you act, paint, draw, or enchant?
Do you grab ahold of an audience's attention?
Do you then treat that gift as the precious thing it is?
When times grow loudest
Noise made of chaos, hatred, and greed
Do you stand in apathy
Your voice so desperately needed
Yet locked away by your own indifference
When times grow silent
No one with anything meaningful to say
Do you rise up
To be the voice that leads
With apathy discarded and empathy held high
However you make make your voice heard
Speak with the courage it takes
To be honest
And form authentic and meaningful connections
Through voice
Together, a voice with purpose made
Of love, wisdom, and empathy
May sound deafened by the sheer volume
Of ignorant hatred
But only to shallow ears
Speak to as many as you can
With quality forever your priority over quantity
And you might just be the one
Who rescues those minds
From their self-made, shallow prisons
It is from this collective freedom
That we can finally take that big step forward
Into a place of progress
In which we continue to shape our voices
For better and brighter days
