Humanity Bleeds
Our humanity bleeds, but not our acceptance.
Surrender to this world’s system, no not me,
Try as I may to recover,
I remain as I am, my dignity tucked neatly away in my pants.
All honor lost, my voice to speak out, hushed by them.
Respect you say who’s your or mine?
I can speak out you say, only if I say your words
Of my own choosing!
So I bleed, I bleed because of humanity, or was it acceptance?
Is it not the same, aint that a shame.
My humanity bleeds, because of my lack of acceptance
I surrender to the world’s system, not my own.
I tried to recover, but I became just another number in the system.
I lost my voice, I lost all respect so now I just bleed,
Of my own, but I still bleed.
Don’t we all for humanity still bleed.
