to feel so much but to say so little
you think i'm quiet
but all my screams have been shunned
i'm silenced in a world of noise
where even the loudest yells won't be heard
it became second nature to spell no word
a habit that i can't get rid off
being out having all my problems seen
but at the same time seem invisible
many labels i hold
many not by choice
i am proud of my identity
i am proud of me
as soon as the first letter comes out
"Be sIlent" "Stop spEaking"
i'm in eXile from my coUntry
my chAracter, my Life
you robbed me my land and home
you took away what i called my own
my destination is hellfire
but did you create me
to sentence me to such place
my destiny is my own
you've no right to interfere
to impose your opinions as facts
to call debs upon my fate
casting me out of my faith
calling me out because i live free
it's not my fault you locked yourself in a box
i'm not to blame for your ignorance
for your hate and misjudgement
you've dug your own hole
with your bare hands you caused your demise
you've instilled your loathe in me
so i still suffer as a result of your actions
words you spoke and remarks you made
i choose my truth over your lies
i choose myself today and everyday
my god i worship my religion i follow
you named me a sin
but what is your base
you named me inferior
as if you are superior
comparing me to things we can control
being born is not in my hands
to breathe so deeply
to beat so quickly
stop them I Dare You
