For without a voice I was powerless
For without a voice no boldness could be found in sight.
For without a voice i was just "another one"
A shy kid without understanding, without revelation, without realization
My dreams are nothing unless my voice is heard.
For without a voice i am an echo
A robot living to be like them, without a mind
An echo in a large but small world
Hoping to conform to their ways.
I found destruction in the midst of quietness
Sorrow in the midst of joy
No peace, no hope, no future
Then i found you.
The hope that keeps me hoping
The shelter covering my shame
The one that shut the mouths of lions
You give the power to write, to speak, to live.
You do.
