US vs YOU

It’s time.
Time to wake up,
Time to smell the rotting air,
Time to truly see.

For far too long have we stayed silenced.
Silenced by our friends,
Silenced by our family,
Silenced by ourselves.

For we are ones afraid of failure.
Afraid of disappointment,
Afraid of the screaming and fighting,
Afraid for our lives.

We are the ones who have no life.
No dignity,
No money,
No home.

But if we be so helpless then why do you still beat us?
Beat us with sticks,
Beat us with guns,
Beat us with words.

Because it’s you who is afraid!

Afraid of yourself.
