Silent Opinions

Poetic Licence

Silent Opinions.

 

Opinions are opinions that part is certainly true.

They are your opinions which are a piece of you.

Express your opinions make sure they all count,

Don’t ever suppress them and then live in doubt.

 

They are a true expression of how you really feel.

Don't be afraid to get on the conversation wheel.

Opinions are what helps the world to turn round.

If we do not give them solutions cannot be found.

 

Not everyone will agree with what you have to say.

Difference of opinions helps us find a better way.

You cannot contribute if your opinions stay quiet.

You cannot complain with decisions you don't like.

 

Opinions are not for being in a popularity contest.

There about joining in and showing some interest.

Showing passion and care for things we believe in.

Not being in fear of the growing speaking policing.

 

Your own opinion is and will always be part of you.

So, with conviction go forward and speak the truth.

Shout it out loud and proud even if no one listens.

Least in a small way you will be finally contributing.

    Beautiful poem… I’ve been tinkering with one on the same topic/theme… but it isn’t ready yet. To have an opinion without being opinionated is quite a challenge at times. Thanks for sharing 👍🏻🙏🏻🕊

        In thought this poem is meta in that it voices its own opinion within a poem about that very subject. Very nicely stated and expressed in great meter

          No one should ever be afraid to express their own opinion out of fear of others not agreeing with them. We are all different, no two people are the same. This is a fine composition Tobani. Well done.

                  I really love the energy and message in this! It’s like a call to action, reminding people to embrace their opinions and share them, even when it's challenging. The emphasis on the power of expressing ourselves and not staying silent rings true. It highlights the importance of participation and how it shapes the world around us. The line about “speaking the truth” really stands out—sometimes we hold back out of fear, but when we do speak up, even if it's just for our own peace of mind, we’re still making an impact.

                    Thank you for your positive feedback, very much appreciated. Sadly we live in times where people are becoming scared to speak, and that is not right. We all have a voice if nothing else, so we should use it. Enjoy the rest off your night
