upon me is a name,
One I have no wish to bare,
People will be blind
for the name is always there,
...
how sweet you are when you smile that way,
You brighten my mind with the things you say,
Inaudible words, symbolic in meaning,
I feel sometimes that I am almost dreaming.
...
Upon Me Is A Name
upon me is a name,
One I have no wish to bare,
People will be blind
for the name is always there,
A burden to be with me,
scarred upon my skin,
it doe's not do me justice,
For what am I within?
A man? a woman?
it's just a rightful claim,
Why thrust upon me horrors and torment my mind with shame.
Tags, names and labels that cast me to the wall,
No longer shall i shudder or my resistance to you fall.
For I am whatever I want to be,
it's our right to social inclusion,
It's our right to our own recovery.
