simply because you refuse to see us.
simply because you demand our obedience.
simply because you refuse to hear our song.
that power/concedes without a struggle.
simply because you are tired of hearing our words.
simply because you try to cut out our tongues.
simply because you hold up your palm.
simply because you refuse to recognize our humanity.
We will take our pain and turn it into sunshine.
We will continue to see the beauty of the world through our own eyes.
