Cross That Line

Cross that line... If you're under 18. Cross that line... If you've ever felt unseen. Cross that line... If you've been in a reltionship that caused you pain. Cross that line... If you've ever felt like going insane. Cross that line... If you have low self-esteem. Cross that line... If you've ever felt like you needed to scream. Cross that line... If you were ever told to 'be a man'. Cross that line... If your skin is black, brown, or tan. Breathe. Cross that line... If you or someone you know has been under sexual assault. Cross that line... If you constantly hear that everything's your fault. Cross that line if you know someone who died in a car crash. Cross that line if you've lost someone else in a flash. What if they were here today? What if you could tell them what you need to say? What if you could see their smile, one more time. What if you knew they had the potential to shine? Close your eyes. Cross that line if you are pro-choice. Cross that line if you've never had a voice. Cross that line if you feel alone. Look around the room... You're no longer unknown. Cross that line if you're willing to take a stand. Cross that line if you're willing to expand... Your courage your strength your voice your change. To your classes your town your state your range. So cross that line if you know where to start. Instead of speaking from your mouth, find meaning in your heart.
