I cringe from confrontation
Don’t make me take a stand
Fear takes over
Whenever controversy does land
But I am learning my opinion
Really might matter
I just have to be assertive
To be heard over the clatter
All my life I was told
To just stand quietly by
While the others all talk
It was pointless to even try
But now that I am older
And know what is true
I might have something to say
Especially to you
What you said was wrong
And hurt me on that day
You should tell me you’re sorry
Just please don’t run away
