Written by Moyato Akintade
When the world feels heavy, and things aren’t right,
Don’t stand in silence, don’t hide from the fight.
A friend who’s hurting, or the earth that’s in pain,
You can make a difference—don’t let it be in vain.
Speak up, stand tall, let your voice be heard,
Kindness is powerful, it’s more than just words.
If something’s unfair, don’t turn away,
You have the strength to change the day.
The smallest step, the bravest call,
Can turn the tide, can change it all.
So stand up, be bold, let your heart be true,
The world needs YOU, and all that you do!

Moyato Akintade is a Nigerian writer and poet who weaves raw emotion into every line she writes. Her work delves into self-reflection, identity, resilience, and the beautifully messy spectrum of human emotions: heartbreak, longing, and the weight of unspoken words. When she’s not lost in the rhythm of poetry or dissecting life’s complexities, she’s overthinking or planning her next creative venture.
