I haven't forgotten

That I am just one person,

That I am but one voice

Trying to stand out from the crowd.

I remember that I have fallen

Amidst the laughter that surrounds me 

And that sometimes it gets too loud.

I know that I can't sit here

And expect my silence 

To evoke change without reason.

I can see that I don't know everything,

That I can't expect 

My hands to be held always.

I have heard that there are millions of voices

That sound just like mine

That also want to be heard.

I know I am not ready for eveything,

That I won't always understand,

You don't always have to hold me

But sometimes just let me hold your.........

Hand.
