If Only I Spoke Up

If I spoke, I'd regret it
But if I didn't, I'd regret it much more
 
Not speaking up, is something no one should ignore
 
Their words pile up
Onto your heart
 
And if you don't speak up,
It will tear you apart
 
Their words of hatred, will linger in your mind
As if someone is repeating the words, from behind
 
When you go home, Yet again you don't say a word
Because you keep thinking about what you heard
 
Is it true, do I not belong?
I'm so stupid, and I'm not so strong
 
You ask yourself questions that make you feel worse
You feel different about yourself as you feel more remorse  
 
Speak up, and let your voice be heard
Spill your emotions through your word
 
Let them listen, but more importantly,
Let them hear
 
For its when you speak up,  
The world will become more sincere
