Why Not Ask Me?


"I`m still here, I can still speak,
I`m still strong, not frail and weak,
So when you stand there in my house,
Talking in whispers, just like a mouse,
Just look this way and you will see,
I`m still here, why not ask me?
Instead of saying, oh he can wear that,
And dressing me in some daft hat,
Or making me eat food I hate,
With me, why won’t you debate?
I`m no different, can’t you see,
I`m still here, I`m still me,
All I want is to have a choice,
All I want is to use my voice. "
