Questions and answers
Why can't you speak your mind?
Because I have no voice...
But we all have a voice, don't we?
I guess...

So what is your real reason?
I don't want to be mocked...
Humph, mockery comes from all around, does it not?
No matter what you do or say,
Even if you do nothing,
Mockery is still there, right?

Yes, so why add more by speaking
When I can just stay quiet?

Because it does you no good.

Why?

What you have to say is important.
Your opinions don't have to matter
To everyone
Just someone.

Like who?

Like anyone who needs to hear
Another's voice to give them
Their own.

My voice has such power?
Of course!

Why do you doubt yourself?
Can you not see, when
Doubt sets in that's when
You lose?

Lose? How?

You lose conviction,
You lose yourself,
You lose to everything,
Everyone.

So what must I do?!

Believe in yourself.
Take courage from
Those who've always been there,
Will always be there.

Don't restrain yourself any longer!
Open up wide and
Give your words
Your thoughts wings!

They will land somewhere...
