Uncomfortable

It's uncomfortable to stand up To speak out when something's wrong Like standing before looming faceless judges That hold my fate in their hands

When I speak out I feel so small and helpless Will anyone else think it's wrong? What if no one else stands up?

That fear has stopped me from acting But no more No longer can I be silent It's time to speak out

It's frightening to consider I don't even know how to start But I've got to do it It's my turn to help fix things

I hope you'll join me Even if you're scared I know it's uncomfortable But so is being shot in the back
