We need to have a conversation, you and I But you are not permitted to speak For I am loudest and most damaged You owe me this, for I am weak It is not your turn to be heard this time Do not refute or I grow louder I am small, broken, and disenfranchised And I could not be prouder So this conversation we shall have today For the times say it is required I know all, because I've been there And frankly, I'm very tired So let's share some information, you and I But only I -- not to berate you Anywho, I need to be going now I haven't time to educate you

The Conversation
We need to have a conversation, you and I But you are not permitted to speak For I am loudest and most damaged You owe me this, for I am weak It is not your turn to be heard this time Do not refute or I grow louder I am small, broken, and disenfranchised And I could not be prouder So this conversation we shall have today For the times say it is required I know all, because I've been there And frankly, I'm very tired So let's share some information, you and I But only I -- not to berate you Anywho, I need to be going now I haven't time to educate you
