Speak

The easiest thing to do is speak up when you feel that you have been wronged. You are hurt or offended and just like that you open your mouth to speak. You listen to the sounds of words that are like melodies. This is not right. It isn't fair. It's hurting me. Simple words of feelings that seemingly flow easily out of a once clinched mouth. How can you not hear when I speak? How can you not hear the song that is coming out of me? I speak but there is no way that you will understand. I said nothing when you beat me. I stood still under the hatred of your gaze. But when you called me a nigger, I just had to speak. Adayinthelife
