Opinions
They stare at me, scowling,
as I state my opinion.
Are they right? No.
Is their opinion greater than mine? No.
We all see in a different light.
So why do I feel like I am
wrong, tremble, and am still,
rather than hear their
contrary view?
I will speak
and so will they
and together we will
realize the brighter day.
