Give Me Back My Identity
Give back my identity,
I can not be anyone but me
Can't you see, I am lost without me
Words are all I know, how to write
It's my birthright
I wasn't born clever or bright
All I know, is words and how to write
Pen and paper
Brings me closer to the light
Here I feel confident and bright
My soul feels free and light
Pen and paper
Gives me the confidants too write
Here I am free to express all I have to write
Give me back my identity, please
I am on my bending knees
Begging you, please
Give me back my identity,
For words are all I know, how to write.
