Pledge

 

I pledge allegiance

to the underdog.

The lost,

the geeks. 

The weirdos and freaks.

I pledge myself

to hearts

that dare to dream.

I sit in the same 

cheap seats.

I pledge allegiance

to these streets,

to shadows

on starlit nights.

I pledge myself

to those hearts that beat

but never know

their own light.

I give myself to all

who feel fear,

The ones 

that want to walk

with a smile

beaming ear to ear

but are too scared

their happiness

could become a sneer.

To the ones 

that live more at night,

The ones that fade

in sunlight,

I give my hand.

We are bound.

A band. 

We hum a collective sound.

So let us speak.

The fear, the bullies

and the ones

that make us feel meek,

let us push them

into last week.
