The Glass Ceiling

You draw the maps of a world that isn’t mine, You give me a seat, think you’ve done just fine. You sign the check, yeah, you give me a place, But the cost is the silence on my tired face.  I’m just a "mark" on your corporate list, A ghost in the system that shouldn’t exist.  I’d rather have your scorn and be your prize, Your "good cost of the day" is a heap of lies You built me a ramp but you hold the key, While this heavy backpack is all that I see. "If you want it, you can!"—that’s the lie in my ear, While I’m carrying stones you’ll never feel near. If my mind’s on a frequency you can’t embrace, You call it a "failure" and stay in your space. I’m not your "hero," I’m not "brave" for you, I wasn't born to make your dreams come true. Your mercy’s a wall made of polished glass, I can look through the window, but I’ll never pass. I’m not the spark for your hollow pride, Not the "broken piece" you can push aside. Broken, yeah! But I’m still right here! Tired, yeah! But I’ve conquered the fear! Don't define me by the things you can’t see! The barrier’s your gaze, not meant for me! Your "social peace" is the cage I’ve outgrown, While you ignore the rhythm of a heart of my own. I’m not a "despite," I’m not a case to be won, I’m a human soul... and I’m finally done! Gratitude is a muzzle  IT’S A MUZZLE! Stop looking at the finger, start looking at the Moon! The labels are burning, I’m leaving this room! I’ve shattered the p act,  I’ve broken the glass, I don’t need your permission to let the time pass! If you’ve decided that the blame is mine to bear Then the price is a burnig i´m not goin to share Don't define me by the things you can’t see! The barrier’s your gaze, not meant for me! Your "social peace" is the cage I’ve outgrown, While you ignore the rhythm of a heart of my own. I’m not a "despite," I’m not a case to be won, I’m a human soul... and I’m finally done! No more labels... No "inspiration" games... Just me. Without your permission.
