Can I Speak


How do you expect me to speak, When every time I try to speak, you Shut Me Down. How do you expect me to speak, When every time I try to speak, you Throw Insults At Me. How do you expect me to speak, When every time I try to speak, you Find Something Wrong With Me. How do you expect me to speak, When every time I try to speak, you Teach Me Silence. Let me Speak
