SHOUT.

Silence building pressure in my throat

Heartbeat louder than the quiet allowed

Oxygen turning heavy with restraint

Underneath calm a riot waiting

Truth trapped behind obedient teeth

Shout rising from buried years

Shout breaking the obedient mask

Shout tearing the scripted role

Shout becoming my only weapon

Crowds teaching me how to disappear

Rules forcing me into smaller shapes

Eyes judging every wrong move

Fear rewarding my submission

Name losing meaning in their system

Uh

Identity fading into background noise

Chains disguised as normal life

Time punishing hesitation

Voice shaking but refusing surrender

Anger learning how to speak clearly

Pain demanding its recognition

Soul refusing further imprisonment

Breath turning into rebellion

Walls trembling at my honesty

Power growing inside expression

Light entering forbidden spaces

They told me to stay quiet

They told me to stay quiet

They told me to stay grateful

They told me to stay invisible

They told me to stay weak

I shout until I exist

I shout until I am heard

I shout until I am real

I shout until I am free

I shout until I am free

I shout until I am free
