Doesn't mean i don’t have a voice Or that I can’t make a decision for myself That I Can't posses the conch That I can be heard
Just because i'm fat
Doesn't mean I’m not strong Or incapable Or hear the sound of the whistling trees as i run through the damp sand Or unable to survive the long days and cold nights
Just because I’m dead
Doesn't mean i didn't live Or savor the last moments of my sanity Or battle not only the external issues daily but also those demons in my head Or love all the boys on that island as if they were my brothers
