Standing Up

My guilt arose
My sorrows deepened
Everyone has a voice
Who don't I too?
Why can't I tell them to stop?
Why can't I raise my voice?
Why can't I be strong?
My brain and my heart and my voice
They don't align
Who else can I blame this mistreatment for?
If I can't even stand up for myself?
I'm failing myself
I'm self destructive
I wish they'll stop
I wish I had someone to teach me
