There was a girl who lived in a quiet town
who went by the name loud
She liked libraries and coffee shops
She lined up in crowded bus stops
She believed in sincere smiles
She had broad shoulders and tiny legs
She knew a chicken could do more than lay eggs
when she said,”Hi I am Loud”
guys gave her blank stares
some even glared
Even if no one greeted her back or said what their name was
She knew
She was born to be heard
where she was born was not going to stop her from that
With thin hair and a brain that works
She was ready to change the world
Not the world that other people lived in
but the world that mattered
the world that did more than just exist….
the world where she was her name
where men did not give her blank stares
where she was the answer
their question mark shaped ears were waiting for
