Speak Up

Stand up for the weak and speak up for the quiet. 

When people are bullied they are forced to hide it. 

They are scared and afraid and they want to speak up.

But they know if they do that they might get beat up.

They suffer in silence and don't say a word. 

They're so close to suicide because their feelings are hurts.

By the time we figure it out it's already too late.

Another persons life has been taken away.

Stand up for the weak they can't do this alone.

And speak up for the quiet because they can't speak on their own.
