Speak Up
February 13, 2009
"Speak up! Speak up!"
People always say,
But it's harder than it seems,
When you're surrounded by all your friends,
And sometimes enemies.
They begin to tease, and I want to say,
"Hey, cut it out! That really isn't funny."
But when put in the situation,
I just laugh with everybody.
I know it's wrong
It makes me mad
And fills me up with shame,
That when another person hurts
I laugh like it's a game.
That's why the next time laughing starts,
I'll find the strength in me,
To accuse the guilty party
And befriend the one in need.
