Don't


Don’t tell me I can’t walk
When my footsteps are not heard.
Don’t tell me not to talk,
When I have not said a word.

Don’t tell me I’m not right,
When I have done nothing wrong.
Don’t tell me I must fight,
When I should sing a peaceful song.

Don’t tell me I will fail,
When I haven’t even tried.
Don’t tell me not to tell,
When I have never lied.
