“Born in Germany”
They’ll point, they’ll judge, they’ll never see,
The truth of who I am inside of me.
Born in a land that isn't mine,
But still, I stand, my heart aligns.
You’ll look at my face and make your call,
Forget the layers, forget it all.
A name, a place, a history spun,
But they don’t care where I’m truly from.
You’ll write my fate, but don’t you know?
A story’s more than the seeds you sow.
Born in Germany, but trapped in their eyes,
The past’s a shackle, a clever disguise.
They’ll chain me down with their need to control,
But they can't bind the heart or the soul.
I walk with pride, my head held high,
No matter what they say or imply.
For I’m more than a birth certificate, more than a name,
I’ll rise above their narrow frame.
Born in Germany, but never defined,
My true self, forever intertwined.
