Fi Le

I do, so u do
I see, so u see
I find my way out and jump
So u too u jump
When u fall u pull me down
We fight with words
Millions of miles apart
I don’t know u, u don’t know me
No approval requested
Yet your opinions flow so free
Who asked you?And to me, y must you speak?
Lift me up or step aside
Raise me up or stand down and die
Limited in our minds we remain still
I try and try,
I’m really trying to break free
In ma mind, my dreams reign supreme
Mentored by those before me
Inspired by those that follow
All in ma mind still
I hesitate to step out
By ridiculous standards you measure me
I’m failing cause I know u’ll neva really see me
Forgetting that ours is a really long road ahead
So please, don’t put their standards on my head
Educated and pleasant you are
But still you stand guard,
Ready and willing to stand me down
Just waiting…to let me know…I’m not enough!
If you don’t like it, swallow hard and f**k off!
We all want so desperately to be free
So if u cant lift me up,
Please, abeg, leave me!
