Speak Like a Man
Speak like a man and don’t be afraid!
Don’t be feared by the power
bestowed on his creed.
For once, stand up and at least
do what is right!
Otherwise choose to talk
and do the backbite.
Speak like a man and never pull back!
Don’t let coercion eat you.
At least start to fight back!
For you know what is better.
You deserve to feel better.
Otherwise choose to do nothing and end up having nothing.
Speak like a man and be courageous!
Don’t hide your inner strength- Make it glorious!
For the love of yourself,
speak up and be yourself.
Otherwise choose to be unheard
and be in a mad herd.
