You scream in my face like I'm nothing but dirt,
You wish to cause pain, to degrade and sense hurt

From others, who you believe, are less than your worst,
You trod on my belonging, like my existence is cursed

You use my demons against me, like some tortured beast,
Enslaved in isolation, as a plague never ceased

I have been pushed away, struck by the blade of remorse,
For a burden I do not own, this is not my destiny's course

Join me for our pride, our smiles, our hearts and our voice,
We'll stand together strong, this now is our choice

To be more than a statistic, a dot or a number,
We will awaken now, never to rest or return to the slumber

That has caused so much pain, so much hate and regret,
To myself, to those i cherish, and to those i just met

I used to see beauty in every situation,
Now i perceive only darkness, shadows in repose and rapid degredation

Of a life i once enjoyed, of resting sunsets, and every hopeful dawn,
Where happiness was prominate, and smiles used to spawn

I will take control, and assure i own my life,
For i will now hold my shield to any tyrant's jagged knife

Say ''No More!!!" with me, i say, my dear sisters and brothers,
Raise your voices ever high, scream it out, tell the others

They are not alone, in times of peace and of war,
We will rise taller, together we will soar

It takes but two words to even this endless score,

*I ask of you now, everyone who this reaches, say it forever, two words, "No More"
