A jolting pain in the gut
In silence I sat
Ate with the rats
Slept with the batsI now know what the light meant
A voice it lent
Myself, no more speaking in silent
The rules I've followed now bentLet my scent reach your mind
Of the courage I tried so hard to find
Peek inside my head, thoughts left behind
Today I am no longer blindLet my mere presence suffocate you with the truth
Let it reek, let it reach its route
To suck all it needs, of what you took: my youth
I am fighting back, no longer mute.
