CATHERINE JAMISON
RAW INTERVIEW
POEM
i wish i could see with my broken eyes
maybe then i could see through all the worlds lies
i wish i could be heard
maybe then your perception of me would no longer be blurred but instead all you see are the lies
aren’t we all tired of listening to the things that society shoves down our throats?
you have the right to say the things that need to be heard
the right to do the things that need to be done
to fight for what you believe is right,
we are not statues
i will not let the hand of society cover my mouth
i will not let the hand of society wrap around my neck and steal every breath from my lungs
i will not be silenced
i will break down the walls of silence around my broken heart break down the walls of insecurities built by all the people i try to please
break down the walls of hate that divide us time to tear off these chains, this burden, this weight theres no time to wait
But now i can see
oh 20/20
from this cage i am now free
but now i see we blame society
but we are society
