I saw it with my own eyes

The way everyone bends

To please their “friends”

Their values slain

So these friends remain

I see it with my own eyes


I heard it with my own ears

How the people we trust

Spontaneously combust

To spread secrets and rumors

To appease their consumers

I hear it with my own ears


I felt it in my own heart

Why must this occur—

Trading what we were

And to the pressure we yield

Becoming a fortress that shields

I feel it with my own heart


I knew it in my own soul

When I decided to never allow

To never bend nor bow

Because to build a wall and hide

Is safer than showing what lays inside

I know it in my own soul


I see it with my own eyes

I hear it with my own ears

I feel it in my own heart

I know it in my own soul

I saw it with my own eyes
