Dont cover my words with yours

Don't cover my my words with your.

Some places are like the radio
cant say something out loud
got people on your back hounding what you say
and if you say it they'll take you away.

Religion a touchy subject and some places
just flat out reject.
Some people argue, some people fight
but in the end i know it'll be alright.

Where you go changes what you see
and some just change everything.
Politics is something that I know
But where I go changes what i hear
but everything just comes back to here.

And some bleep my words out
with their own fears.
But by the end of the day I'll be heard
I just gotta have that one last word.

Wont face the facts that this is planet Earth
cant see that we all don't agree
So why argue, if its what it seems?
Some people can just get downright mean.

Seriously? Grow up.
Don't bleep me out
cause ill just come back up.
I'm a stubborn person who will fight for the right
and covering words isn't whats right.

I know some don't wanna hear it
but its rude and inconsiderate
don't try to blur me away
your need to hear it anyways.

Don't call me racist
that's a touchy subject too.
But that's a word to shut people up
I'll say look in the mirror
Did like Bush?

Talking smack to me just ain't going to work
cause I've got comebacks and know what i say
by the end of the day i might just turn you around
Open to opinions, and maybe not.

Oh well, atleast i got my say in.

Ahhh freedom of speech and

Ahhh freedom of speech and freedom of expression. This world is so touchy on it and yet it is a right as a right has ever been. This worked well as a poem but if you were singing it then it might work well as a song too!! Your writing has improved so drastically since you've been here, and it's amazing to see...I'm so proud of you :) Peace and love Big sis
