No More Silent

When I choose to speak my mind seems no one ever takes me seriously They tell me that I mumble so they really don’t have to listen to me It often make me uncomfortable and left wondering what to do Why Is it that no one seem to want to hear my point of view When ever I try to give advice it’s always ignored by anyone else And you wonder why I have no friends and keep my opinions to myself Life really is a book with one hell of a lesson to learn And even if you are well read no one is ever concerned People say when I speak my mind all I do is complain When in reality most of the time all I am trying to do is explain But I don’t argue with them for that is the best way to avoid a fight And mostly when things come out my mouth they are not always polite But as long as I may live I know I have a choice To choose rather or not I care enough just to lend a voice Cause I refuse to just lose this fight by not being heard For I’m going to say what I choose and stand behind my words

Let them hear you speak. I know exactly what you mean I have often felt ignored whenever I spoke. I did Toastmasters for a few years and whenever I spoke there I had complete attention.
