Keep Quiet Or Speak Out

My inner voice screams with pain,
While I stay quiet.

My crys never heard,
My thoughts never known.

It's something kept away
Like a reflex...
But why?

Why must I hid
All I feel from the world?

Why would it matter
Who sees me cry or not?

It's not their right to judge!!

I am who I say I am.
And I'm not,
The worlds dummy.

I will not get played
For your amusment!
For your pleasure!

I don't play these games!
Do you?

I don't care who looks at me,
I don't mind who will judge...
You can't control me.

This is my life!

So who will stop me?
I'd like to see them try.

They say,
I can't be believed?!
Yet it's them who lie to others.

This world is screwed up,
Don't make me a part of that!
