Proud

Go and write a masterpiece

That's what my dad always said to me

And when you've lost the words to speak
Don't take this set back personally

People aren't here to suppress you

People aren't here to burden or test you

And when you've found the words to speak
You'll reel off verses tirelessly

And when people way in you'll react violently
But you fought all this time so you could prove mindlessly

We can be what we want to be

Without hope or shelter
We plead restlessly

And I know that it's hard to be me

But it's harder to be someone else that's the truth

So I've done as I promised dad
I sat pen in hand and gave this all I have

And I hope that someday you'll be proud
'Cause when the darks blinded

I know your light shines
