Change

Until the day

I feel at ease

I will say

I need a release

Until the day

I don't feel the fears

I will lay

In traumatized tears

Until the day

I am able to speak

Instead of hearing them play

With my words and making them weak

Until the day

I'm not criticized

I will pay

To be revised

Until the day

I can be accepted

I will pray

That I will be respected

Until the day

I need to leave

I will stray

And continue to grieve

Until the day

There's a change in society

I will be on my way

Slaying stereotypes until I hear a "finally"
