We were gifted sleep so we could only have visions of madness And bestowed eyes that would only cry tears of sadness We were granted arms so we could only fend against the violence And blessed with ears that would only hear ignores and silence We were gifted hands so we could only hold the weight of the earth And bestowed minds that would only think less of our worth We were granted feet so we could only run away from the dangers And blessed with hearts that would only confide in the strangers We were gifted lives so we could only plea for our own deaths And bestowed lungs that would only breathe meaningless breaths We were granted mouths so we could only converse in our screams And blessed with bodies that would only be alive in our dreams ©
