Song Lyrics

What’s wrong?

Said the snake to the songbird.

What’s wrong, little songbird?

Why don’t you sing me a song?

You see,

Said the songbird to the snake.

You see, I’m tired of running away.

[Note: This piece is meant to flow like lyrical rap.]

Is this even a semblance of a

                     democracy?

Look at the atrocities 

Pretend I am alright,

act like I’m just fine.

Wonder if you see the battle march

in every step I stride.

Pretend I am alright,

You have to decide

Where your loyalty lies.

Is it your friends,

Or is it your family.

Is it your birth clan,

Or the clan that took you in.

How ironic is it

That you don’t see this comin’

That you won’t be able

To wrap your head around this

But I don’t want

To speak

To see

To hear you anymore

And how ironic is it

Hello winter 
dancing snowflakes, bristling wind 
Hello winter 

hold me safe in your embrace 
beside the fireplace 
melt away the frigid day 

Standing still thinking about what I lost 

Fire drill and you’re in the parking lot

Season changed and everything grows 

Do you remember my last name 

Author's (long) Note:

Why is it that when you have a disability, that's all people see?

Kids my age:

Who am I 

What do I believe is true 

Who am I 

When I see the truth 

What do I believe 

Don’t judge me by my cover

Cause honey you got it wrong I’m not your lover

I’m not going weak at the knees

Gonna do what I please

Verse:

Will our paths ever cross again?

I don’t know but I wanna pretend,

I’ll still see you around.

But I know I won’t, 

Verse:

What’s your name again? 

I don’t remember who you are 

Am I famous yet, 

Can I be the same thing that you are
