My Big Mouth

Standing up for yourself when its hard to. Learning how to speak up and not be silenced.

I hear how I need to shut my mouth,
How I am very good at needing to have the last word.

How one day my mouth will get me in trouble and you hope to see that day.

You tell me that I need to cut down on the sarcasm because it is a little much for you.

So let me ask you with my big sardonic mouth:

How many women do you know who let people walk all over them?
Name one woman who lets a man walk on her like she is a part of the sidewalk that he stays on; so as not to get hit by the traffic of the women who set their voices free. Name one woman who stands down from an argument because someone told her she is not good enough, or that she shouldn’t be talking about things that she just doesn’t understand. Name every woman in history who sat back and let someone else take the lead in changing history, who kept their voice locked up because they had grown up learning that their voice was not safe to be used.

I will not let you silence me like all those other women in history.
I refuse to be one of the women who are unknown as a constant pushover, who are looked at as weak because they never speak up for themselves and let everyone walk all over them.
If being able to stand up and tell the world that I will not be silenced is something that you do not approve of… don’t let the door hit you on the way out.
