&ldquo;There is a sacredness in tears. They are not a mark of weakness, but of power. They speak more eloquently than ten thousand tongues. They are the messengers of overwhelming grief, of deep contrition and of unspeakable love.&rdquo;<br /> -Washington Irving


The world is too fragile
For our raging minds
We cannot speak
So we are left unspoken
There is so much to say
And so much to scream
but yet the room is silent
I cannot begin to tell you
about how good it felt
when a single word dripped
from my chapped lips
Because even though the world is too fragile
And the people are not ready
Our voices must be heard

Im really inspired by this peice becuase as teenagers i feel there is so much we cannot say. Im stuck with a vocabulary that i dont want to use.
