I wish that you could hear me I wish that you could believe me I wish that you treated me better and you did not yell at me I wish you did not put me down or try to make me feel less than myself.
I rehearsed this in my head As God is my only audience I rehearsed this in my head So I know the words to say when we meet again I rehearsed this in my head.
I run to you as fast as I can. I run to you because I'm scared. I run to you on this land. I run to you unprepared. You caught me. You protected me. You saved me from myself.
Don't I have a voice. Why is it every time I want to talk I get shut down. It's like I don't have a choice. What I need to say can't even get around. I get told to sit back down.
