Minority

You think you can silence us, tape our mouths with hatred and violence and bind our wrists with prejudice and fear?

You're wrong if you think we'll be held down and kept from speaking the truth, if we'll stop fighting for our right to be seen and heard.

I will never imagine a world where the bravest of us are consumed by your delusions, where it reaks of your desperation to be superior.

We'll never lay down and let you trample upon our beings, we're all worthy of living as ourselves, whoever we are.

It's only you who's afraid of the minority.
