Will Be Heard
Location
My Voice will be heard.
Nothing will keep this person inside
Quite anymore
I'm tired of not being heard
Not being heard is like not existing
Tired of being left behind those
I am someone
I can walk out front but not behind
And I will be heard
People will know who I am!
Even if I got to use a loud speaker
You, him, her, them, everyone
Will know who I am
No more being quite
No more walking in shadows
Of others
Am I going to stand up and be
Someone that I am
For good or bad
You will know
Know my name
You ask who this girl is
What the hell is she doing
What's her problem?
Well I'll tell you who
I am?
My name is Elkharia. My favorite color is green. My birthday is April 19. I lived a heard life of an average person. I am a proud African America women living right down your block. I refuse to live in your shadows anymore.
I will be heard.
AND YOU ALL WILL REMEMBER ME. WHETHER IT'S MY NAME OR WHAT HAS HAPPENED THIS VERY DAY OR FOR WHAT HAS BEEN SAID. YOU WILL KNOW SOMETHING ABOUT ME.
I will not be just a shadow to those around me.
But a voice
That's been heard
By those
