What do I gain from speaking up
\nFor being accused of being too sensitive
\nToo defensive
\n\u2018This is just the way the world works\u2019
\nThey say
\nAnd I can\u2019t change it
\nAm I not allowed to advocate
\nFor my people
\nOr anyone else\u2019s
\nMy words fall upon deaf ears
\n\u2018I don’t care I don’t care I dont care\u2019
\nThey laugh at me
\nThrowing daggers
\nGiving into centuries of oppression
\nAnd saying the world will never change
\nThey will never change
\nBut I refuse to believe it
\nIgnorance isn’t bliss
\nYou are not self righteous for refusing to care
\nYou are a coward
\nAllowing the world to go on this forsaken path
\nYou are part of the problem
\nThe world won’t change if you wont change
\nIf you don’t look in the mirror
\nto shame yourself for your willfulness
\nYou wield so much more power than you realize
\nYou can stop people from dying
\nYou can stop the earth from dying
\nDon’t name call me
\nDon’t shame me
\nBecause you know deep down you are selfish
\nI won’t apologize for speaking up
\nI am simply sorry that you are a sad excuse of a human being<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
