People

I don’t wanna cry anymore
I don’t wanna feel
I don’t wanna lie anymore
I don’t wanna kneel

Kneel at the mercy of others
Kneel for their respect
Kneel for their worthiness
Ignoring the neglect

My heart pangs with pain
Body filled with disdain
I want love and pleasure
And yet I continue to refrain

I’m stuck at the mercy of others
I’m hiding under my covers
The world makes me afraid
People make me afraid
