This poem is amazing. The author wrote the first and last stanza, but all of the middle stanzas come directly from people who have read Speak. It is also printed in the 10 year anniversary edition of the book. It made me tear up. In a way I felt like the secret sharing reminded me of the Post Secret project. All these things we keep silent about...
I was too scared to watch this video before because I didn't want it to give anything away to me. I am so glad I did wait. This poem is very strong and you can tell how much the feedback she got from her readers really touched her. And as you watch you see extremely well how much her book effected and moved her readers.
