This disease is a part of me But will never control me I cannot be cured It will never go away I carry this burden Day after day
The pain is excruciating I cannot think straight I am caged in a body That will not let me Out of this crate
There is no need to stare No need to whisper hateful things You need to understand That I am just like you
When you see me Smile and look away Don't judge me before you know me Understand and accept me for who I am
This disease is a part of me But will never control me I want to break free And break through these chains
A sacrifice I want to take Is for others to be in my position Just so they know what it's like The lesson I want you to know In this audience of one I stand tall amongst them all
