Rise up and Seize
What has happened to us? Where has the urge to explore gone? We’ve let ourselves be bound, we’re not meant to live like this, My entire being screams ‘Escape!’
Society crushes me, tries squeezing me out of myself I will not let them! The drive to survive is strong, I cannot let them win.
It is hard, but I shall not give in Though everyone may fall away, I shall stand Alone if I must Tyranny cannot be permitted, and I can’t permit it Though it is difficult, I’ll struggle on
Regroup! Resiste! Do not let them win! Return to yourselves, rediscover who you are Oppressed since the day you were born, now is the time to seize your freedom.
See it all
What’s up with you, why do you hate the truth? What makes it so painful to bear? Is it that it destroys your paradigm, makes everything new? Please tell me, for I do not know
My mind, it cannot comprehend you You try telling me to see the bigger picture, while you can’t see yourself Then I do, and it all becomes so clear But I can’t pull your eyes from the small section that interests you
Let go, tear your eyes from it, Let your mind appreciate it all Do not focus on one small part, drink it in, Then you shall see the truth, and be free
Can’t you see?
WHY!
Can’t you see who I am? Is it not plain to your eyes? I know myself better than you do. Where were you when my neurons developed? Can you see every thought, every memory, every experience of mine? Stop pretending, start asking, Treat me like I’m Hnau, do not judge, You cannot Grok me. Until you do so, you lack Empathy, Face it, and don’t pretend. My mind cannot be fathomed by yours, Just as I cannot fathom yours. I can’t see anything from your point of view, Because I’m not you. Can’t you face it? You’re wrong Seek the truth, see the truth Be free.
(Hnau is a Malacandran term from C.S. Lewis which covers all sentient/sapient beings; Grok is another SF term which means to understand fully)
Curist-Me Poetic Dialogue
(Curist): What’s wrong with you? You have a disease You need a cure, you need fixing Your mind does not work right Here, let me help
(Me): No, I don’t need help I don’t need a cure I’m fine as I am My mind works as it is, just differently to yours
(Curist): You know, you won’t function in society as you are You’ll go to an Institution You won’t be able survive outside of one Unless… you let us help
(Me): It’s part of who I am, it doesn’t need changing To change it would be to change me Have you considered the possibility that society’s flawed? Maybe you’re working for the wrong side
(Curist): What about the others? Those who aren’t as able as you? You would have them suffer, locked away for their life They, unlike you, are low functioning You’d have their parents suffer
(Me): Those allegations are false I don’t want anyone to suffer I’m okay with deleting negatives But leave the positives alone
I Have Emotions - Lyrics
Let your anger flow Straight from your heart, through the keyboard to the page Just write it out So that everyone may know how you feel
So I do, and here it is My thoughts exactly, well maybe not I tried telling you it, but you didn’t listen No-one ever listens to me
I can cope with change, despite your protestations I have emotions, despite your protestations I can cope on my own; you don’t need to hold me now I don’t need your acceptance, yet I request it
I’m old enough now, I’ve seen the truth I don’t need your hand anymore I can make my own decisions; you don’t need to make them for me They affect me, so let me decide
There are signs that times are changing Still, the wind changes slowly While it does, I still suffer I want to spread my sail and catch the winds of change
[Fading away] I can cope with change, despite your protestations I have emotions, despite your protestations I can cope on my own; you don’t need to hold me now I don’t need your acceptance, yet I request it
I can cope with change, despite your protestations I have emotions, despite your protestations I can cope on my own; you don’t need to hold me now I don’t need your acceptance, yet I request it
I can cope with change, despite your protestations I have emotions, despite your protestations I can cope on my own; you don’t need to hold me now I don’t need your acceptance, yet I request it [/fading away]
The Lyrics may change; it's a song afterall. I'm working out a melody to it, and I'll probably post the notes when I have the tune.
