I wanted to make a difference ...

I wanted to make a difference - for goodness -
So, I spoke loudly into the microphone
To everyone
... and I only made a fool of myself
.... no one said anything - good

I wanted to make a difference - for goodness -
So, I turned to my neighbors and co-workers
and spoke loudly in the public forums available
To my neighbors and co-workers
... and I only made a fool of myself
..... no one said anything - supportive

I wanted to make a difference - for goodness -
So, I turned to my closest circle and family
and spoke less loudly ... to them ... directly
... and I've heard - from my closest circle and family
..... I only made a fool of myself
......... no one said anything - supportive

I wanted to make a difference - for goodness -
I spoke loudly to myself
and I made a difference
No one saw it
... but I made a difference for good
