The scream of a pregnant women giving birth is a beautiful sound.

For within her is something so preciously bound.

There is life inside the void.

 

Strong-willed, she knows that she must push despite her current pain.

One last deep breath and a new life is born untamed.

There is life inside the void.

 

An intrepid person does what the timorous person can not do.

A pregnant women exemplifies the indomitable warrior faced with obstacles and fights her way through .

There is life inside the void.

 

There is power through speech.

It is not a skill that anyone can keep.

There is life inside the void.

 

With my voice I can speak change.

I must push through any disparate limits that desires to keep me chained.

There is life inside the void.

 

Inside me there is life.

Despite my brown skin or feminist quantities I am not afraid to express my thoughts.

Religious morals, statistics , and stereotypes my words will fight.

There is life inside the void.

 

I want my voice to reach inside the ghettos of my hometown and pull the minds of my recalcitrant peers from their psychological confinement of ignorance.

I want them to realize that gaining and the pursuit of knowledge which is education is important.

There is life inside the void.

 

Where they deem themselves as too good to be college bound , where there are more numbers in prison than the numbers of high school and college graduates, it is time to change.

Anything is possible with the smallest amount of foresight and ambition, stop the violence, it is time for a new reign.

There is life inside the void.

 

I challenge my peers to evaluate themselves and push.

To scream out a sound so beautiful that it would transform the world like a storm.

Bring back those aspirations from four hundred years ago that is slowly being torn.

There is life inside the void.

 

Inside the darkest place is always light, impossible becomes possible with a do, change starts with a mind to change, anyone can start from nothing.

Only visionaries can turn nothing into something.

A vision can provoke change where change seems unthinkable,

there is life inside the void.
