I Will Decide

Why have you stopped my voice?
Why can’t I be heard?
Why have you shut your ears
When I am not what you want to learn?

Have I caused you pain?
Have I caused you strife?
Why is it that without even knowing me,
You try to end my life?

My presence is truth
My presence brings fear
It causes hearts to stir and change
That’s why people want me to disappear

Why I exist is not up to you.
Who are you to make me go away?
Why is it that you think,
I will lead people astray?

I am who I am,
I’ll be who I’ll be.
The decision to exist is not up to you,
It’s up to me.
