Come a Little Closer
By E J Frank
Come a little closer, Don't be afraid
Tell me what you see
Do you think I'm pitiful
Do you think I'm brave
Do you think that I'm a helpless soul
Just waiting to be saved
You want to criticise me
To mock and patronise me
You want to analyse me
Or you simply just despise me
Though there's no sight in my eyes
I can see beyond your lies
Though you may not hear me speak
Doesn't mean that I am weak
I still have my own voice
I can still make my own choice
I don't deserve your scorn
And I will not be your pawn
I'm not a virtual statistic
So let's be more realistic
Come a little closer
Don't be afraid
Listen to what I say
I may not be a warrior
But I'm ready now to fight
Though I may not stand on my own two feet
I can stand up for my rights
