There’s More to Your Voice

July 24, 2023

People have always wanted you
to be exactly one certain way
They didn’t want you to change
day after day after day

You tried to follow that path
Because that’s what you thought was right
You never thought of being more
of changing the hue of your light

Then you tried something new
Despite what everyone else said
Something inside you yearned to get out
And you knew that this was what you wanted

Some people laughed, some people cried
Some people smiled and applauded you
But others turned and ran away
And still others were left confused

You see, not everyone will accept the real you
Some people may leave you behind
but your voice is important
so speak out, rise up, and shine
