Because There's Something In Me


Inside every human being

There is an opposing force

Saying no no no to your

yes 

and yes yes yes

to your 

please don't

 

This force inside propells me forward

makes me realize that I can drown out

the no no no

I can stand on that stage

and they may clap

they may roar

they may sit in shocked silence

but they will hear what I have to say

 

Because there is something in me

and it is going to come out
