My Demons
Only the privileged are free
I had no immunity
There is a duty that I should’ve done
But the voices in the quorum were blaming me of misdemeanor
The danger was imminent, I’d never avoid it
It didn’t matter the affirmation because it was lined in lies
No source of equity, because I was the one targeted
No sign to hide it, it was overt and plain
The power forcing my forfeiture in the game
Only then the voices would adjourn and leave me alone
It didn’t matter my reprisal, or my insurrection
I would lose the fight that was respectively placed
The news that would devolve would have already been ordain
I’d have to forego all my dreams,
Seek naturalization in my own mind once again
It wouldn’t be construed and I’d be lost once again
They’d pile it up in a magazine that would be fired back at me
Filled with words of insults and pain
