Why Hold My Peace

Why Hold my Peace You want me to hold my peace But exactly what does that mean? When you walk around like you a king, crushing someone else’s dreams Do I look like a servant of yours or someone you can run over? Think twice, when you partake with a rebel like me I don’t take threats likely, so be careful when you address yours truly I too have a personality and voice that cuts like a knife But I choose my words wisely, before I plan any attack My profession has lead me to many roads Roads that function or some that was out of my control I Bridge in the gaps with deceptive words meant to attack my soul Criticize who I am and what makes me stand out above all who have tried to sabotage my goals But, Ha Ha, you want me to hold my peace I hold my peace for many things, but in the existence of adversity, never! I consider myself to be clever and clairvoyant I understand how the world works and my role in it Holding my peace has never made me grow Why shorten or dampen down my abilities For the sake of prosperity??
