Before you tell us to smile, look beyond to see the scars that brings a sad face
Before you tell us to fight, see the fresh wounds that reminds us of the same battle field
Before you tell us to understand, test the war in the mind trying to understand ourselves
With every judgment, there are things you wouldn’t understand

Our backs ache for carrying heavy pasts, we are just trying to stand upright
If you know how much effort we have put in, you wouldn’t dare put us down
We have fallen many times, but we never remain down
With every judgment, there are things you wouldn’t understand

Don’t make us feel out of place
Don’t make us hurt more
Don’t make us feel scared in the society we rightfully belong
Don’t make us fade within
There are things you wouldn’t understand
