Listen to you
fluttering heart,
don’t lock yourself in a cage
that seals your mouth,
release from captivity and
fly finding freedom’s wings.
Summon your courage
little mouse,
come into the open
to roar out thoughts
which hide in darkness.
I see flames of strength,
that grows like a mighty tree
finding freedom’s wings
amongst a society that blames,
Arise, for fear is not your name
In you I see confidence
yet, when confrontation
crosses your path
your voice flees
like a doe.
Slave of silence,
let your voice unfold
finding freedom’s wings,
release the voice within
for fear will not be your name.
