I am not you
you cant answer for me
like you know who I am
or who I could be.
You live your life the way that people tell you to
none of that is me its all you.
If you saw me on the street
would you hate me?
Would you envy my smile
cause Im free.
Would you see its not just me
it could be you instead.
If you could escape the fear and flee
so right now while I stand here and say
you can be free
he hits you.
Just as you say you cant stay
I remember what happened before I ran away.
Do not tell me I dont understand
Ive felt the pain given by a hand.
Ive hidden the tears and bore the scars
all in silence.
I know you.
You are the victim in this violence
all this hurt only makes more silence.
Everyone that is slammed down
will not help me stand my ground.
So if you hear me and know what I say
take my hand and we will be on our way.
For I am a survivor and Im here today
to break the silence, end the voilence, stop the pain, and make them pay.
