you decided before i spoke - maeve noiré lyrics

you heard the word deaf and wrote my whole identity in a single heartbeat
built a story where silence meant stupidity long before my voice had a chance to compete
you looked at me like sound equals intellect and quiet equals lack
like everything about me collapsed the moment i couldn’t hear you from the back

you slowed your speech like charity, dipped your tone in pity’s hand
talked to mе like i was breakable, likе i wouldn’t understand
you never met my mind, just the stereotype you chose to invoke—
i wasn’t misunderstood… you just decided who i was before i spoke

you decided i was dumb before i spoke
like silence writes intelligence and your ignorance is some kind of joke
you painted me “slow,” painted me “simple,” with a tone you thought i wouldn’t detect
but trust me—i heard every condescending drop of disrespect
i’m not broken, not lesser, not the empty outline you tried to provoke—
your bias was the only thing loud in the room
the moment you decided who i was before i spoke

you talk to me like clarity is a gift you hand out on your better days
like understanding comes from volume, not the effort you never raise
you slow your words like i’m fragile, then speed your judgment like you’re right
never stopping long enough to wonder if the smartest one here
might be the girl who lives in silence, not the one who needs sound to feel bright

and when i answer—sharp, fluent, stronger than the box where you hoped i’d choke—
the shock on your face tells the truth:
you were never ready for the real me to be the one who finally spoke
you decided i was dumb before i spoke
but the only thing exposed was the ignorance you cloak
you wanted me small so you could stay confident
wanted me confused so your ego stayed dominant
wanted me silent so you’d never be confronted—
but i outgrew every limit you tried to evoke

i’m not stupid
i’m not lesser
i’m not the version of me you broke
i’m deaf—
and still louder, clearer, wiser
than the lies you believed
before i spoke
