Silently I gather strength to fight back,Common sense is what you lack.You seem to think I will just keep bowing down,While you shove my face to the ground.With all the pain I refuse to make a sound,And only cry when there is no one around.You claim that my mind has since gone,And you know how to help us move on.But I remember a lot of the pain,All for your personal gain.So you go ahead and have your fun,I will tell you when you’re done.We will see who is right,And who will leave tonight.
