But as we grew, our voice withdrew; to suit society.

Were popular with others when our truth stays on its shelf;
Acceptable to everyone alas, except ourself.

Speaking Up

We each have our opinions of what we see and hear;
But we seldom share them out of courtesy or fear.

As children we were honest, and spoke up openly;
But as we grew, our voice withdrew; to suit society.

Were popular with others when our truth stays on its shelf;
Acceptable to everyone alas, except ourself.
