Strain

A deafening sound
To shut out the noise
To silence the echoes
To keep us complacent
Is flesh pierced
Till it bleeds out
Becoming numb to pain
Wrists have blistered
From being restrained
Stripped of rights
There is no choice
Assimilated or assassinated
Fear feeds to anger
Internalize the violence
It's neverending pain
Bearing witness
To lives stolen
Forced to stomach the nausea
For pigs hunt in broad daylight
Her name erased
The murders perpetuate
A whitewashed cis-hereto state
Broadcasting a desecrated eulogy
Every bullet
Every life lost
Won't be forgotten
Your time will come.

Martyr Complex

Shift the focus, cater to your ego
Selfish martyrs cut our tongues
Our colors, our burdens to live with
You don't bear the same teeth
You march under
Our burning effigies
While we breathe in the smoke
Make an example out of me
Your guilt helps no one
Oh to be the nails in your white savior
Your guilt helps no one
Crucify the white savior
Killed again, shunned again
The world can't see me, I've been erased
A brighter light has shown it's face
Remove me from my skin
Our voices drowned out
It's what you've always wanted
From a safe distance
A cause to stand in front of with no backlash.

Passed the time with shutting eyes
Feel the strain in my voice
With truer words to offer
Biting our tongues proves easier
Beg forgiveness the impurity cleanse
Attempted purge this dry-heave guilt
Coughing up teeth at your feet
This bittersweet reluctance
This is imperfection at it's finest
Choke the sky, grab at my throat
I will endure
I embody pain.
