This is true for everyone at some point in their lives. You have something you want to say, but society and its social norms stop you, even if it is something people need to hear.

P.O.W.
This is a slam poem performed by Alicia Keys. I was in a public speaking class in high school. There, these poems were introduced to us. P.O.W. here refers to "Prisoner of Words." Her passion helps convey this message.

This reminds me of the work done by John Stuart Mill. He asserts that the ability to speak without censorship is necessary, even if it's sometimes wrong. He argues that only when we hear all sides of an argument can we really consider what the truth is. Of, Alicia Keys conveyed the message in a much more creative and artistic way.
