Please, I Can’t Breath

It’s so heavy
I feel
Suffocated
Please, I can’t breath

It was a mistake
I’m sorry
But do I have to die for it?
Please, get off me sir

My eyelids feel so heavy
I wanted to dance with you more, Bossman
I wanted to be with you more, Roxie
I hope I was a good father to you, Gianna

Please, I can’t breath
I can’t breath
I can’t
I

No more of this injustice
No more of this pain
Just a world where we can live
Without the fear of being punished for it

I want my brothers and sisters
My daughter
This generation and the ones after them
To live.

Not in fear.
But to live.
Freely.
