Silence me, but you will not quiet my voice

Cover my mouth but it will not fade

No matter how much you try, I continue making noise

My voice to silence won’t be laid

I speak words with my lips

But I speak thoughts through my eyes

And I paint pictures with my finger tips

Speaking, painting thoughts of great size

And you know I don’t have to weave sentences

To tell you what I mean

Nor to speak your offences

I can speak of things that others have never seen

And I do it all without speaking words

Saying what others dare not say

And yet I do it all without the aid of vocal chords

Words you can’t hear are ones that in your mind will stay

I’ve made a protest, a statement to the rest

That I will not be silenced

And all their shushes are just another test

Their orders, will simply be ignored

My great grand voice will not rest

It is the whispers in the dark

It is the voice of the riots

For those who hear it, my voice leaves an eternal mark

Defying the orders of unreasonable idiots

It will not whisper back to you

My voice is not a language

Nor will it stop if it suites you, or if you want it to

It is an idea that leaves you all in anguish

I cannot and will not be hushed

I will not hesitate, my voice will be shared

And my words will not be judged

So silence me… you, I dare
