Never Again

You parallel my humility with weakness
You take me as meek; spiritless
You scorn my modesty as frailty

So you think it is okay to dishonour me 
To conduit your frustration through me
To siphon your indignation, 
'cause you surmise me as submissive! 

I may silently weep 
But I ain't a sheep 

And the day I'll speak, 
I will roar, I will roar
And I will roar louder than a beast. 

Never again take me as meek; spiritless
As submissive, spineless.
