The rasp in my throat reflected my mind
Sore
Vague
Useless
Just another normal day
Of words
Of silence
That scream within

So this is my life
This is my quiet
My turning of the eye
Dismissed
Failed
Tortured
And
Silenced

There's worse ships at sea
I hear
More hunger than
I wish
More anger than
I want
Less caring
All this wrong  

So I'm needed
And so are you
We need to show the world we're
Right
We need to show they're
Wrong
Let's raise our voices
All be heard
The best is yet to come
