On hands and knees trying to be free Day to day I struggle to be me I am struggling to climb up the ladder to reach society can you not see? Mania in my mind cannot be controlled Rejection has paid me back tenfold, It takes over my soul and puts me in grave danger And makes me societies feared stranger, Losing my mind, my friend Your personality to me can you please lend? So I too can be part of the social trend, Trying to push out a final tear Never to cry again without a fear To be part of your society do I have to engage in prejudice and violence? The cancer in your society that cannot get silence, Perhaps I will just stay in my home called hell A place where my entire life I have been forced to dwell So give me the key to your city so I can leave this shell.
Reason for writing:
Race prejudice, rejection and life's woes.
