Here I Am

here i am

i am here

to take a stand

for who i am

i exist

within this community of a hell

you call society

this is just a jail cell

with more of a variety

of places to be

and items to buy

the humanity you see

has just gone by

away it goes

with the freedom claimed

to exist

but i insist

that its a lie

how dare you try

to act like i dont know

because im a teenager with nothing to show

but an emotional face

without a single trace

of knowing what i am capable of

besides media blogs and mushy love

so here i am

i am here

to take a stand

because im stronger than you think i am
