Since the
day we were born we were told that we
couldn’t.
And every
day after that we were told that we wouldn’t.
And then
after that we were told life was too
hard.
And to top
it all off “our goals were too far.”
For no
matter what we did we were thought
always to fail.
Their minds
were the hammer, their words were the nails.
That pierced
through our souls in attempt to hold us down.
Yet come to
find out the strength we had found.
In fact we
were stronger then most really knew.
Honestly we
are probably even stronger then you.
Yes you the
one who told us those horrible lies.
Who tried to
keep our eyes low…away from the skies.
But the
chains have been broken
our spirits
are free
Our bodies
unbound
You gave us
the key
You pushed
and you shoved
You slashed and you kicked
You took
what we loved
And you
tried to constrict
Yet all of
those things with in us you dare try to kill
Gave us the
knowledge, it gave us the will.
To grow
beyond what any could see.
To strive
for our goals and finally be free.
