Choice

if you'd like
to talk about ponies
expect some hate
and so
many many many

if you'd like
to make some monies
but you procrastinate
create a thousand 2-second videos of
any any any

but not the ponies
because you'll expect hate
and so
many many many

It's your choice
how people hear your voice
context matters to all
how you rise and fall
but we know it's all
in the inflection of your voice

If you'd like
to share your opinion
expect disagreement
that are
varied varied varied

If you'd like
all your likes to get a million
but not everyone is agreeing
it's not about you so don't get
wary wary wary

but don't share your opinion
because people will disagree
and it's all
varied varied varied

It's your choice
how people hear your voice
no one puts you at gunpoint
and threatens to silence the points you point
yet it's always thought as it gets going
understand the inflection of your voice

the play button
is in your power
do what you will with your hands

the stop button
is not ours
i hope this you will understand

you can exit the screen
turn your computer off
but you don't get control over
how we express our thoughts

but remember

it's your choice
how people hear your voice
sarcasms and implications are deaf
when all we hear is black text
our reactions are what come next
but it's all in how you handle your voice

if you'd like
to talk about ponies
it's your choice
expect some hate
handle your voice
it's your choice

if you'd like
to share your opinion
it's your choice
expect disagreement
understand your voie
it's your choice
