Poem For the Day of Silence

When you ask me to speak up in class, You may not realize that I have my reasons for staying silent. When you tell me not to be a “crybaby”, You may not realize that I have my reasons for crying. When you tell me that my dreams are stupid, You may not realize that I have my dreams for a reason. When you tell me to shut up You may not realize that I already have Because I am silenced Silenced by you.
