Speak Up Poem by Miranda Van Yperen

Let your voice stand out
Let everyone know
Just go on and shout
Don’t be the silent one
And let everything go on around you
You could help someone, light their sun
You just sit there day after day
You see everything going wrong
Watch everyone else have to pay
The pain is way too much
So you stay far away
Everything is turning to dust
You’ve got nobody to turn to
Nobody to trust
You think that this is all too new
You waste your time
Just think about so many things
The times you said ‘that isn’t mine’
You want things to change
But you don’t know how
Everything that’s happening is kind of strange
So you must speak up now
Let everyone hear you
Tell everyone, let them all know
That its time to SPEAK UP
