Just Speak Up:

I know it seems hard at times

But just speak up

The voice inside of you

Let it shine 

You don't have to scream or shout

Just let it out

Your frustration and heartaches

Let it be heard and marinated 

In the ears and minds of those whose lips speak ignorance with hands and hearts of posion and misguidance

Discrimination, yeah I know what it is but I also know what it looks like and feels like

Why should my hard working father, a man of a dark coffee roast complexion feel out of place when he enters a room

Is it because of how he portays himself or how his white couterparts see him?

No, but they don't know him like I do

He's full of life, intelligence, and as sweet as honeydew but awakening like morning dew

How come they can't see me? 

Are my amazing qualities so concealed? 

No there not babygirl, it's all inside of you 

waiting to spread like wildfire 

To spread positivity and hope to most underserved people's hopes and desire

That girl sitting there with a crooked smile and disability

She can not compare with all her potential and capability

In moments of pure dispare and sadness

It is speaking up that holds the key to a granted progress for tomorrow

That in me and I in you that we can rid of this world's sickness and sorrow
