POEM: Proud and Out Loud

Proud and out loud

That means no shrouds

And only pink clouds

I have no doubt

That If you turn me over

After you inspect my spout

My mouth is not broken

It’s a token

To a fair that is never unclear

So be aware that

I don’t haunt or hint

Because I am proud

I don’t stop and squint

Because I live out loud

There’s no mute button

There’s no refute notion

It’s a love me as I am kind of vibe

And while I may be my own tribe

You’ll know that I’m here

You’ll know that I care

I’m loud

I’m proud

And I don’t hold back my sound
