not a victim


Society had taught us to stay silent
I sat quietly but now time has run out
They say because we talk we are defiant
We say the truth and there is only doubt
Attackers are praised yet I'm a liar
Used to be so innocent then i broke
In my silence i sat surrounded by fire
If i speak about assut I'm woke
I wonder do you even remember
You went about life able to forget
Meanwhile I became a pretender
Had to act as if all was okay yet
I am not a victim and when the
Truth is out you're going to wish you were dead
