I Am No Longer Silent Poem by Joi Till

I am the Voice
I am the voice for those who stay quiet,
Who never look up and hide their face
I am the voice for those who have so much to say
but stay in their safe zone
Stop making fun of those who are different
One day you’re going to wish you hadn’t
I am the voice, I am the voice, I am the voice
It may be a whisper or maybe a yell
But I’m going to stand up and say it anyhow
Cause I’m no longer tied down by my silence
I’m going to open my mouth and tell you how I fell
I’m going to open mind and let it out
I am the voice for those who stay
Silent
