Unverified Aspirations

Why do you keep guessing,
The emotions that are pressing,
Inside my brain\'s distressing,
You do not know the depressing,
my suicidal head\'s wrestling.

Back away from my choices,
You are one of the many faces,
That tell me I am voiceless,
That tell me I am faceless.

Stop.
Repeat what you just commanded,
Do you really think that I\'ve just abandoned,
Remember I that am left-handed,
A voice that you take for granted,
But I have the advantage.

I am here to make my own purpose,
Even if I drown, I\'ll resurface,
You\'re only seeing me from the purchase
I will not be treated like a circus.

For now I might flightless,
Maybe a little sightless,
But I will find the brightness,
Where I will become priceless.
