Im still here

Leave me alone

Stop shaming me

Of my faith 

Of my life

Of my love

Stop attacking me

I am a woman for women 

But I am not angry like you 

Leave me alone

I will live how I want to live 

Stop making me feel stupid

Leave me alone 

Leave me alone 

Stop it 

I've had enough 

My soul can only take so much 

Make your voice kinder

Your criticizing into empathizing 

Your hatred into love 

You are my family 

Will you stand with me? 

Instead of holding grudges? 

I'm sorry about the trauma 

I didn't mean any of it

I couldn't help being born the way 

I was

and I am so proud

and so thankful 

That I 

am still 

here
