“I wasn’t born deaf but the world taught me”

I wasn’t born deaf
but the world taught me
was to to listen fack and lie
Live life but don’t fly
Direction, sky

Violence pumped through my veins
Black lace folded my eyes
Black cotton covered my ears
The world confined me in black

I left the joy

I wasn’t born deaf but world taught me
Let the darkness makes nest in your body.
Let the soul fly ashes in the sky and the fingers,

let the ashes covered the air.

Let the eyes see fire everywhere
Let the black feathers cover every heart
Let every heart welcomed hate
Don’t go so high
shades the soil so,
brown will turn blood
Ignore the cry

Live life but don’t fly so high
directions sky
I wasn’t deaf but the world taught me and
Result covered black walls
I found myself in darkness
Blinded by skin color,eyes shut wide,ears curtains closed against all truth

So,

I saw only monster
Me
Not other monsters when only I monster here

A while I screamed and cry

I wasn’t born deaf but the world taught me.
