POWER IS!
All power means
Is Pointless Oppression Without Even Respect
I am powerless
But that’s what makes my actions powerful
The world’s ugly
But also beautiful
Since the beginning of time,
We’re constantly told the world is cruel
That people who try to fight are fools
And that to live life,
Conflict can't be in sight
“It’s quite nice where there’s peace,”
But forgot that,
That cruelty is still there
It doesn’t affect us- we don’t care
That was a blur,
An ugly one
What isn’t, was the memory of my sister
Telling me
“You gotta fight for what you want!”
So I believed it...
The Walkout
Orange everywhere
We were bright stars
A megaphone in my hand
It was 10:00
17 minutes, all we needed
and decided my voice couldn’t be defeated
The looks
They were proud
“Thank you.”
Because we need to be LOUD
