Open your minds, Open your mouths.

Open your minds, Open your mouths.

Stop watching your back, and holding your tongue.
Stop shutting your mouth when something goes wrong
Say what you feel and dont worry about the others.
All they do is make zombies, your opinions are smothered.
It's easy to be the same, to not question the norm.
But it takes courage to question, and weather the storm.
I once told a girl she was brave for being different,
Now there's a hero. One who chooses to be a miss-fit.
It takes a shallow minded person to keep their voice down.
To hide in the shadows, and blend in with the crowd.
What's special about that? Silence doesnt matter.
No one's ever made a difference by keeping quiet and following after.
All you children do is drink, because thats what's "cool".
But has anyone ever stepped up and called you all fools?
That's what you find fun huh? throwing your life away.
Your mind swallowed by the poison, wasting precious days.
Well I'm here to say that not everyones the same.
I wont mess my life up, I'll actually use my BRAIN.
Im stepping out of whats expected, and in the end, I wont fail.
I wont follow your path.
Ill make my own trail.
This life is about taking chances and trying new things,
and thats exactly what im doing.
I refuse to be the same.

I am soo proud of you girl. You have come so far. I know this has always been inside of you and I am proud to see you express yourself and do it so eloquently. The sky is the limit Tay, and never stop reaching.

WOW! I am a mother of a soon to be 13 year old and appreciate this so very much. Thank you for sharing your words with me. Beautifully spoken and nice word play.

Poetry is finer and more philosophical than history; for poetry expresses the universal, and history only the particular.
