SpeakThe days go by and the nights seem endless but stillI find the strength to continue on this forever journey to be heard.I've kept quite for so long and now I long to be freeFree to speak my mind of ever flowing thoughtsThat had long ago stayed within me.I've come to realize that in this journey we call lifeIt’s meant to be explored to definite fullness to completeEach and every chapter of our written story.To come full circle and have a sense of completenessIs what I seekTo live to become and be at easeFor so long I have waited for someone to understandThe things that I have gone throughTo find the words that I seek.I have been raped, beaten and robbed of my self esteemIn my past and no longer will I be afraid to speak upTo the things that used to frighten me so fiercelyThat it caused me to shut my eyesClose my ears and seal my mouthSo that I was unable to be within reach.Not anymore will I submit to this self tormentI will speak with my eyes so that you may see tearsI will open my mouth so that I may send my voiceFrom one end of the earth to another andI will listen to what all has to be said after I have spoken.There is no better way of saying thatI’ve overcome a struggle and this is where the journey nearsA completion that has given me closure to move onTo another chapter of my story.
