silenced

They have taken my voice.

They have beaten me down.

Blinded by a false reality.

They follow like sheep.

No questions have been asked.

No rules have been broken.

My voice may be gone,

But I will not be silenced.

The truth will come out eventually.

I will be free from all of the lies.

These chains of oppression will finally be broken.

Look how far we've come.

They snicker as they watch me fall.

They think they have brought me down.

But I refuse to fall.

I refuse to be their toy anymore.

They have used me for the last time.

It's my turn now
