Everyday I worry
They are going to take you away
You speak the truth
They don’t want to hear.
You speak it loud to make it clear.
So they make others disappear
As a way to instill fear.
But you are unapologetic, bold.
Their attempt to constrain you does not hold.
The truth will always be told.
The truth will make them fold.
So they try to shut it down.
Try to keep you from making sound.
Bury it underground
But the seed can always be found.
Shooting a tender reed.
It can grow to feed us in our need.
