Let us be heard
Is it really my fault
I can't explain the heavy heart I feel
I feel like crying
But I have to hold it in
Everything is my fault
It's not my fault that I was born
You don't understand what goes on
You believe it's all in my head
You believe I am asking for it
You believe that I should be perfect
You believe it's all in my head
I never asked to be the way I am
I never asked to be here
I never asked to be shamed
I never asked to be born
Stop it all
I can't take it anymore
Why can't you live on with your life
I am here to be me
Not to please anybody
Many lives on the line
And yet I am still here
I am going to live my life
Putting up with everything my head held high
Living for those who have been silent
I don't care what people care about my decision
it's my life
And I'm here to speak loud
Let their voices be heard
Forget those in the past
Take my hand
And walk with me through our journey
With our heads holding up high
