Keeping my tongue

I've kept my tongue silent for a long time,
Not feeling wise enough or smart enough to speak my thoughts and ideas.
I've waited for wiser men and women to speak for me.
Those people that speak loudest these days say they speak for me,
And they speak misleading things, prejudiced things and commit to terrible actions.

So I will speak.
I'll do my best to apply wisdom and Truth
But I am not willing to swallow the words of others any more.
