Best Speak Up Poems


Speak Up
When you take a stand and say what you choose,
Without hesitation, or being confused,
Not holding a fear of what others may say,
But to say what you mean in every way,
It liberates your soul, by setting you free,
No longer a prisoner of insecurity,
But a teacher to...

Premium Member Aborted Rights Remain Valid Facts To Speak Up
Attempts to cull the human unborn have caused mass controversy 
despite the widespread damage this can cause to the population 
under stable growth moving forward killing the weaker of our group 

Whom are unable to defend themselves 
from this violent abuse system ever originating

Speak Up
Either from constricted throat or hesitated poise,
I find that creepy silence a deafening noise!
Like bees it buzzes in the core of my frazzled mind
Speak up, my dear, if you can be so kind!

See, like a red red rose withering to gray,
I find myself fading day...

Speak Up For Love
If there's anything worth saving
Or could be better done
Needed now more than ever
~Speak up for Love~

Although it stands up under pressure
And shines all by itself
In a world filled with hatred
We could all use a little help

There's too often a deafening silence 
In the parts that...

A pen is like a voice
It speaks to the heart
Unlike other voices 
It has an immortal part
It can last as long
as the paper where it has writen
It could be proclaimed
Or by lovers secretly hidden
Pen and paper make a wonderful team
Saving imaginations recording dreams
A pen can...

Never Be Afraid To Speak Up
Big brown eyes and long brown hair
Shes so beautiful it isn't fair.
With every step she seems to glow
she's so pretty but she doesn't know...

High school jock with long strong legs
hes wasting his years drinking down kegs.
The beautiful girl stands near by
but she can't approach him...

Speak Up
When your heart feels as empty as your wallet 
Depression, obsession whatever you wanna call it…
When you lose it and all you wanna do is…
Sip some booze and go cruisin’…

But you can’t go far without a car.
Can’t go to the bar because you lost your...

With limericks better think naughty
Of triple X, not vaguely flirty -
With mind wide open,
With clues clear spoken -
Thus unconditionally dirty.

Speak Up
Don't want to be a bother,
Don't want to come between
Don't want to cause distraction
Don't want to make a scene.

Though stating really clearly-
I fear there's something wrong and
If i can't state it here
Where else do I belong?

There's problems in society and
I ask with much respect
To voice...

Speak Up Sister
She walks in your shadow and falls at your feet, trying to connect to the rhythm of your hearts beat 
She calls you just to say hi and all you give is a Hi five the deeper she gets into this game the more her...

Speak Up
Burdens as far as the eyes can see
so much misorey a person can be
through the mistakes and lies
traped in a hole.. i feel confined
although not in so deep 
we all have the world at our feet
so listen and speak loud
for there is not a space...

Speak Up
Everyday,
We saw eachother,
Spoke,
And kept walking..
Little did you know,
I had a crush on you;
But telling you was making me die slow…
We’d eye eachother at Track practice,
Every afternoon..
Not knowing that I’d be leaving soon..
Not knowing that the feelings I had
For you,
Were mutual;
It could’ve been,
Should’ve been,
And if we...

Speak Up
Sweater and knee socks in May
As around her
All present sweltered

damp browed assuring
She felt just fine 
In things unseasonably sheltered

A boundary crossed
The sweater removed
Insult to injury by force

Seeing the reason
And humiliation
Immediately showing remorse

Gently escorted away from 
The eyes
that looked on ,and on,it seemed

After the big unveiling
the...

Life Lease
A gift from above 
Made with love 

Life to be had 
Too bad it was sad 

Hard to deal 
Never feeling healed 

A messed up head 
Thinking alive or dead 

Can't do it anymore 
Hell what life has it store 

Not Saying Goodbye 
But It's...

Hush and Be Quiet
Hush and be quiet.

There is no importance to your words,
Your voice echoes in the dimly lit room.
The empty room.
No one cares to listen.

Hush and be quiet.

You deserve no sympathy.
They’ll drown you with your voice,
“It’s your fault.”
No one wants to listen.

I want to scream.
Take my voice...
