Uncensored Version
I speak from my heart and refuse to ever give a censored version
If you're easily offended you shouldn't read a poem with my words in
People fear the truth, so they get mad when you speak it
I'll write every thought, if its good or bad and I'll never delete it
We're all entitled to express how we feel, but some hide it
I won't dress it up or try to disguise it
If you hate me for it, then so be it
I don't live to be liked, I got bullied at school and its no secret
My parents chose alcohol over me so I'm used to not being wanted
Imagine thinking I'd be scared of being hated for being honest
I share my thoughts even in drama and conflict
When you beat your fears is when you become strongest
I don't speak to offend, I speak out of love and passion
Some don't agree with what I say, and try to show it with actions
Call me names, hate me, attack me, I really don't care
I'll speak my mind even if it offend you until I'm no longer here
If you won't speak your mind I don't want to hear it
If you can't say how you feel, I don't care for your words
If it's on my mind or in my heart I'll share it
I want to touch on every thought I have before I'm in a hearse
I speak from my heart and refuse to ever give a censored version
If you're easily offended you shouldn't read a poem with my words in
People fear the truth, so they get mad when you speak it
I'll write every thought, if its good or bad and I'll never delete it
