CENSORED

I have my beliefs.

And you have yours.

But why is one voice lifted

while the other is censored?

I respect you. I still am kind.

So why is it that

when I speak out

it’s labeled as a crime?

I’ve done nothing to hurt you.

It’s the ideas alone

that cause you to shame me,

but I won’t back down.

I have my beliefs.

I won’t silence myself.

I don’t fit your agenda,

But I wouldn’t want

to be

anyone

else
