A lot of people,
too many perhaps,
would rather be
six feet under,
than speak in front
of a group of
human beings,
I say PISH POSH!
Seek your eternal sin
of pride within your veins,
and find that arrogance that
you beat down in middle
school,
remember how you loved
All eyes on you, and if
you haven't felt that yet -
it's there if you search,
A flick of your tongue
will start off their glances
and you'll control them with
words and lead them to
palaces or prisons or back
in time itself,
lead their thoughts with
a song, a poem, a rhyme,
Convince them of fears
they didn't know for years,
or entertain them with tricks
you've got in your head,
The possibilities are unlimited,
the reviews aren't half the fun,
but you've got them on a leash
for now, make sure to take it and
run, for when you've sat down
is when they've won,
And they will critique and change
perspective and personally
condemn you,
or disregard you or hate you
or even berate you,
now that will make you think,
but that's good for you!
And for now stand tall,
and use that Unique Voice
for once in your life, and
know God gave you the right
to an opinion,
and in the end they might
change you or hurt you,
but only if you let them,
and if you're lucky,
you may start to change them.
