Something That Speaks Louder Than Wordz

I got something that speaks louder than words
My heart, my soul, the agony and pain

I got something that speaks louder than words
My cry within, my search for a passion
My motivation, trials and tribulations, but most of all my dedication

Everyone around me louder than when the hummingbird sings
But I’m quiet, with testimonies screaming
From inside

No, I haven’t lived a lifetime in just a few years like the late Aaliyah; but I’ve been through so many things that have made me cry, but have made me stronger

I got something that speaks louder than words
My hope for a tomorrow, my loyalty, and though it’s childish
My fears

A baby’s life describes my silent wails
The enduring stare from a child’s eyes, the mixed emotion you get when someone close dies

My will to be the best, my will to fulfill my fulfillments, hopes, dreams and goals

It maybe my ability to do my best to stand the tests coming my way
It maybe how I try my best to not be like the rest

I got something that speaks louder than words
My bold personality and my own individuality

I got something that speaks louder than words
My silent cries for help, the way I take life as one day at a time
The way I live life to fullest, planting my feet on nothing but solid ground

I got something that speaks louder than words
My wisdom, my itch to make a difference

When you hear my silent tears, see questionable actions, feel that something is not at peace, taste a bitter twist

Don’t try and make an attempt to throw fist
Just look in the midst
And my face will soon appear

My actions, my pain, my life, constant rain
Everything about me speaks louder than words
