Our Voices are Heard but Not Understood
Our voices are heard
But maybe our words go in one ear and out the other
We barely communicate with our sisters and our brother’s
Try to at least hear one word that I say
Maybe we will listen one day
Or maybe we can make today the day
The day where we finally say "No More!"
Where we pick ourselves up
And stop putting each other down to the floor
We fight but we don’t war
We just want change
Constantly waiting on that day the world will change
Problem is we just stand back and wait
Instead of getting serious
We act narcoleptic and delirious
We sleep on each other like pillows and bed sheets
And when you’re up, you watch someone sleep
But yet you want all of the finer things
Don’t forget about the ones that got you here
The ones that made sacrifice upon sacrifice
Just to give you a piece of that lavish life
But we took our eyes off the prize
Let social media distract us with drama, story tales, and creative lies
Instead of finding out who you want to be
You’re studying someone else trying to find what’s the next new thing
Allowed them to cover your eyes, and steal your liberty
Now they’ve taken your sight, you're left blind, with a lack of creativity
