LOUD

The world is so loud.

I try to tune everyone out

That leaves me with doubt,

Do my words matter if I don’t shout?

Everyone is so loud.

Opinions and arguments, come about

From vessels that are not in touch

With the man who made them spring up and sprout.

He said

She said,

We all have said something at one time—

No doubt

That ultimately didn’t help anybody out.

The manner in which we speak

Shouldn’t cause headaches

Or ear pains

Or tears

Or chest heaves

Or fears.

Our words should be sound and always true

To what we believe,

And what we aspire to do.

Clout should not have a voice

Throughout our lives

We have a choice.

To make some noise—wisely.

But in times of despair,

Don’t only focus on the drought that got you there.

I scream on the inside to get away from these sounds

That pull me into negativity and sadness

This world always tries to wear me out.

People pout around, I always hear some bad sounds.

I want to rise above

To be seen,

To be heard—most importantly

To be able to share a kind word!
