I use my tounge
to stand up for those around me,
stand up for those i love
those i hate,
those i'm not allowed to love.
I use my tounge to stand up for me
and those like me;
depressed,
oppressed,
messed with our minds,
told us it was wrong,
and tried to change,
but only maimed
our spirit, our will
you kill my hope,
esteem,
you seem to see
how much you're hurting me
but it goes on
and on
and i use my tounge to
heal the wounds you make,
the wounds i inflict,
cuz it's up to me,
to be the one
to have sung
the true me,
who i really am
and who i wish i were.
I use my tounge to change the world,
cuz tolerance only works if you
fall with it, sacrifice
judgment, cuz that's all that matters.
Acceptance,
repentance,
control of your fears,
embrace,
face your differences, peers,
fears
cuz i know it's clear
we all need love
the metaphorical dove,
and power over yourself. myself.
we don't need war, don't need to score
with the UN, so
i'll give you ten minutes
and it's finite but
it's my night to
hold you,
even if they won't let me.
