Best Say It Out Loud Poems


The Fight For Equality
We can be equal without being the same. 
Let's say it out loud, we shall be heard: 
Look past my gender, and know my name. 

This is not about gaining wealth or fame
Together let's stand, let's spread the word: 
We can be equal without being...

Premium Member Even Butterflies, Fly Through Clouds
Delightful in posture
In beautiful dreams
The grace of the butterfly
In gliding streams

They live their lives
As we all do
Battling elements
Some make it through

Some fall on the thorn
Others will wilt
While others prosper
Their future built

Do we know
Could they say it out loud
As they rise through the meadow
Even butterflies, fly...

Something To Say
My heart is breaking,
Simply falling apart,
Waiting for you
To make up your mind.
You say you want me,
Say you want this to be right,
But you don’t talk to me
Like you used to.
You’re hiding from me
Something that you need
To get out
But you keep it within
And it’s hurting us...

Thinking of Suicide
Thinking of suicide?

Shout out loud. Right now.  
Right where you are reading this.

Seriously, SHOUT OUT LOUD. 

Let us hear you loudest primal scream.
It doesn't matter where you are.

SCREAM AS IF BEING ATTACKED

Scream as if someone is trying to kill you.
You are helpless.
If you don't...

Inner Strength
Inner Strength 

I gave up on me and never gave up on you. In the dimmest light, chance illuminates the real desire to fight. I could never feel justified or right, to take a stance for myself before the needs of others, downfalls are outlined...

Premium Member The Girl In the Coffee Shop
As she walks in the door
My heart skips a beat
Butterflies churn in my stomach
I freeze, unable to move
Unable to stop staring and glaring at this beautiful dream.

Faces around her are blurred as my view of her is
Magnified to the nth degree
She is beautiful
She is wonderful
She...

I am finally over...

Love You
LOVE YOU

FIRST STANZA
If only if the stars could speak
And the winds could dance
They will testify to our romance
And call out your name
As we play this game
Because since they day I met you 
My life has never been the same
You mended my heart
And uplifted my spirit...

The Love of Our Lives
I will bring the world to your feet
I will not be discreet 
I will say it out loud 
I will erase all the cloud
Make it a bright shiny day
In a month of May 
Sweet gentle breeze 
I will be at your arms 
You will kiss...

Let Me Be, Let Me Bleed
Drop by drop as my womanhood bleeds
White skirt soaked in blood how could I 'stay-free'?
'Whispers' all around me, all about me and classmates with questioning minds
I ran as fast as I could, leaving those  blood spots behind!

Mom hugged me, wiped my tears and comforted...

Maybe Poor People Will Want It
As I empty a bag and look over the donations in it
I think, “Geezus why; not even I would willingly take any of this!
If I didn’t work here taking donations, I’d throw it all in the garbage!"

Used undergarments and chipped ceramic dishes?
Broken glass?  Old...

I Wish
My heart is beating so hard,
I have stomach butterflies
whenever i hear your name or voice..

You used to be a friend,
but now..
Except you on my mind, I have no one else.
I guess I am falling down for you
or so it shows..

Now, I truly wish to cross...

Look At Me Now
Time crawls by, as if determined to torture me in this state. Why won’t it go by faster? I want to get away from here. Away from this world. 
	Have you ever had the strong desire to just…go outside at midnight, and walk around? Happens...

See as a child having a child he was my saving grace, allowing me to refocus my path to a better place, Where he could grow and flourish, So I developed him to nourish, Through my soil which had been tainted by pollutants, pollutants in...

The Power of Three Little Words
The power of three little words

Three little words that we all need to hear
Spoken out loud or whispered in our ear
Since we were born 
we heard our dear mother say them
Lived our lives wishing and hoping 
our father could say them
Brothers and sisters... they
need to...
