I have never felt like my body was my own,
Stares and comments from men too grown.

This journey has been all about redemption
I've just been trying to give this monochrome world some dimension.
For years I've been hiding behind a screen,
Begging for attention from the unseen.
My voice was stolen you see
Not once did any one try to save me
Torment and torture for year after year
Left me with nothing but tear after tear
No one seems to notice what happened here

A decade of silence I have endured
An empty feeling, never left cured
I am a little louder now
Standing a little taller, proud
No longer shamed into silence from fear
Not any longer, not this year.
