Suppose

 

Suppose I had no speech then what would I be,

I would never know the joys of being free,

Suppose then I was not allowed to be free,

I would never now the joys of being me,

Suppose then I was not allowed to be me,

I would never know the joy of having my own destiny,

Suppose then I was not allowed a destiny,

I would never know the joy of my reality,

Suppose then I was not allowed reality,

I would never know the joy of sanity,

Suppose then I was not allowed sanity,

I would never know the joy of humanity,

Suppose then I was not allowed humanity,

I would never know the joy of dignity,

Suppose then I was not allowed dignity,

I would never know the joy of sympathy,

Suppose then I was not allowed sympathy,

Then I would never have escaped your misery!??‍♀️
