Be the Voice

Question after question,

questioning who you are—

how you speak so boldly,

how you find the space to speak

when you are still so new.

Thought after thought whispers

that something must be wrong.

Until you realize—there isn’t.

Though new,

your voice carries meaning.

It was meant to be heard.

Not to be shunned.

Not to be silenced.

But strengthened.

You learn you were never meant

to quiet yourself

to make others comfortable.

You are not silenced

because you are wrong—

you are silenced

because your light reveals

what others have kept hidden.

So keep shining.

Stand bright.

Be the voice.
