Against Me
Because of who I am
I'm forced to fight
twice as hard as any man
Because of my mistakes
the good within me you fail to see
you claim my light to be darkness
You cut off my wings
in hopes to watch injured prey be eaten
hoping that there is no escape
Curse my name
in hopes my spirit won't soar
so my voice becomes silent
Despite all
you wish to see me covered in dirt
it will never happen
until you're proven wrong
