Have something to say
Call me a showoff, I care not a jot
I have something to say, like it or not
I don’t mind dislike, ridicule, scorn
If I voice my opinion, for this I was born
My skills may be humble and
My opinions considered bland
To some
Ho hum
But I will have my say
Rising above the fray
If I have to, loud and clear
Dignity intact, no fear
How on earth do I make
A difference if I do not take
The spotlight, turn it on myself
And be heard.
