Sorry, Not Sorry

You stupid or what?

What are you? Retarded

What? You can’t even think for yourself?

You dumb or what?

Oh God, where’s your common sense?

You’re dumb ’cause you can’t even hear

That’s what I grew up with

For the longest time, I believed;

To my very being core

For the longest time, I’ve hated myself

Because of you, you and your opinions

No more, I whispered to myself

Stop, stop telling me those lies

Lies about me, myself and I

I’m sorry,

If you think I’m stupid

But I’m not sorry,

For your ignorance

You weren’t educated yet,

You snooze, you lose

I’m sorry,

If you think I’m retarded

But I’m not sorry,

For being born deaf

You didn’t learn my language,

You snooze, you lose

I’m sorry,

If you think I’m dumb

But I’m not sorry,

For choosing not to speak

You don’t know me at all,

You snooze, you lose

Im sorry,

You missed out on so much

But I’m not sorry,

For being who I am

You are you, I am me,

You snooze, you lose

I’m sorry,

If I don’t hear

But I’m not sorry,

Because I am a good listener

Sacrifice your ignorance,

And you won’t lose

I’m sorry, but not sorry...

.....I love being me
