Human

I’ve been useless, a monster, a crim too

But not today: I won’t be some sad wreck

For the first time I grasp some self-respect

I know that this is something I can do

Driven by a strength that came from nowhere

I will shatter the walls that surround me

I’ll be the storm that makes the demons flee

I will no longer cave into despair

I will embrace myself because I can

I will rise above years of depression

I will move far away from regression

I’ll stand up and declare I’m worth a damn

But wait: You heard? No one likes straight white men

In that case, what was the fucking point then?
