A Wish For Freedom

_{I, a child birthed in chains}

_{Raised in a cage}

_{But on this day- they will break}
-
I was taught self-hatred
Learning that the differences were divided
Among the people who are considered “civilized “

Forcefully combining my fear and envy
As I was raised in the middle of this society
My power and pride were deprived of me

I was only an empty vessel
Believing that all promises were fabled
But once upon a calm- I witnessed hope's revival

Wings sprout from my tongue / Words from my soul are sung
A new voice's journey has begun / Let the era of silence be undone

Obtaining peace of mind / Experiencing freedom of heart
Allowing the colors to shine / The future will blind the scars

I had to fight the system; I had to stop the cycle
It was either my downfall or survival
So I reversed this downward spiral

Care not, for those who maim
Fear not, for those who damn my name
Weep not, for those who choose to go the other way

I told myself that I will survive
And I will no longer enable others to control my life
For the path I'm now walking on is one that I can finally call mine
-
_{I, a child who will make a difference}

_{To create an identity and gain independence}

_{Today I will grasp my long awaited freedom}

I, a child who will become unbroken

To be proud to be different

I will no longer be silent
