The COURAGE to Speak Up—Use POETRY
Do you have something you’d like to tell someone, but find it difficult to do so?
Sometimes, saying it in verse, and/or with a doodle, can soften things up a little, and enable you to share what you need to. You might like to give it a try! But, remember, less can be more…
THE COURAGE TO SPEAK UP
Some think it, but don’t say it
Others say it, but don’t think it
Some care too much about what others think
Others don’t care at all
We can only be who we are
Trying to be who we’re not confuses a lot
Life is tough—some put on a brave face
Life is tough—others show they’ve had enough
Be yourself, and let yourself be
Risk saying and doing what you need to (within reason)
For everything there is a season
A time to reveal, a time to conceal
Those unable to respond may lack the courage required
Putting others down for their efforts is not to be admired.
