I’ll stay quiet

A passing lyric

people talk for me

they see for me 

but close their eyes when they look at me 

they hear for me 

and choose for me 

then they all get mad at me 

when I don’t speak 

and I don’t see 

whatever I don’t want to see 

they tell me what I should be 

even if it’s not good for me 

they tell me run 

they tell me hide 

but they never try to walk beside 

they’re all above 

I’m left behind

silenced if I speak my mind

when I speak up 

they turn me down 

in a sea of noise I’m left to drown 

When they listen

I don’t buy it

among the chaos 

I’ll stay quiet               -KK
