When Akisha started singing, everyone fell silent in shock, even me. I didn't even know she knew how to sing. All I know is that she is good at playing musical instruments.
"Here comes a wave
Meant to wash me away
A tide that is taking me under
Swallowing sand
Left with nothing to say
My voice drowned out in the thunder
But I won't cry
And I won't start to crumble
Whenever they try
To shut me or cut me down
Maybe Akisha was right in what she said before. I don't know her that well yet. I can't help but get hurt there. Because she knows everything about me, but apart from her name, I know nothing else about her. I don't even know who her parents are. She slowly raised her head and looked at me. My heart was beating so fast as I could see and hear her sing. It's spine-tingling.
I won't be silenced
You can't keep me quiet
Won't tremble when you try it
All I know is I won't go speechless
'Cause I'll breathe
When they try to suffocate me
