silenced into submission

speaking up is a choice.

staying silent is one, too.

you always have a choice, fam.

doing only what others want you to do,

carrying the labels they’ve placed on you,

going with their opinions + not questioning or using discernment —

to do or not to do… that’s your choice.

you are free, sis.

free to voice your concerns,

free to rest, persist, + pivot,

free to choose what’s best for you.

where there is a will, there is a way.

you don’t have to be silenced into submission.

find your angle,

do what works for you,

+ focus on what you want to see happen in this world.

remember: you always have a choice.

don’t you forget that shit.

be you, be dope!
