After the show
Was it worth it?

July is a black month
When someone
Has decided to play havoc with
My little, quiet world
When I had the courage of my own convictions
Showing my dissatisfaction
In the best way I could
Unfortunately, I was not understood;
June was a woman’s month
Me and my new country
We have become the main topic
We learned, we memorised, we overcame
We passed the test from the life in the UK
My new home country is so welcoming
Whatever I do or plan, its supportive
Strings are fully attached
England became my lover, my mother, my sister
Due to the lack of them around
I don’t complain, I just live here
To never let that woman down in me
Because my rights must be heard
Whatever I choose, it must be respected
In a free country with over a hundred years of democracy
What could be better than that?
So why do others never understand?
I often become a bone of contention
As if my life never mattered to anyone but me
I don’t care, but what if I was allowed to live
By the person who bore me and now denies me
My existence to the highest degree?
How does that sound on human lips?
So, you shouldn’t be surprised that I support
Every quirky, different, not normal thing
I am one of them, so nothing can surprise me
As everyone should cherish their originality
As long as it does not violate someone else’s privacy;
If you let me live, why do you want to decide
What kind of life am I supposed to have?
Don’t I have a free choice from birth?
I’m an adult, I know what works and what doesn’t
I know where I feel good and what makes me sad
What causes my panic attacks
When depression knocks on my door
I have to open it thanks to your depreciation of me
I won’t agree with you and the country
Where religion makes the rules of life
Even if everyone has the right to choose their own path
So, before you throw a stone at me
Ask yourself if it’s not coming from your own ilk
And what you look like beating me so hard
Mostly morosely, mentally
Trying to fetters the freedom of my heart
Breaking it down, but only in your direction
You were supposed to be the closest, now you’re the farthest
Disappearing in the fog
From the coldest breeze, hostile to me
At your door made of hypocrisy
