The Voice by Leunig
There is a voice inside of you
That whispers all day long,
"I feel that this is right for me,
I know that this is wrong."
No teacher, preacher, parent, friend
Or wise man can decide
What's right for you -- just listen to
The voice that speaks inside.
It’s vulnerable and brave to take a nuanced stance, but it’s also the heart of effective activism and true belonging.
Stay brave, kind, and awkward. #speaktruthtobullshit
