It's Up to Me?
It's up to me?
I thought I was just here to be...
Why is everything changing so rapidly?
And I’m just thinking slowly
To myself of all these injustices
Happening daily in my life without notices.
I can't
I won't
I shouldn’t let this continue...
Why can't they just approve that law?
Why do all the faces just stay in awe?
Can't they see what I am living with
It shouldn’t be a burden, it should be a myth.
Can't even get a license,
I have to fight for my defense
In a place I call home
Or should I call it a dome?
Separating me from the outside world
While I'm inside all twirled and whirled.
I can see the way my parents struggle
Yet all I can do is wait till we can snuggle
How can he do that?
Why can she say that?
It’s only a plastic card
A simple sheet of paper keeping me on guard
I have to look out
I can’t speak with doubt
I just wish this was all a nightmare
That I can just wake up from
Have a fresh, new beginning
And finally yell “I’m staying!”
