Fight


They say I cannot

They say I am just a dot

Of meaningless existence in this place

I'll be forgotten, left without a trace.
 

They criticize and complain

Apparently I am the one to blame

Relentlessly tearing me down

I will not let them take me to the ground.

 

Their words instead fuel my fiery soul

Igniting passions that were hidden below

Flames erupt, sparks fly from my fight 

I will not be killed tonight.

 

I do what they tell me I cannot

I am more than just a meaningless dot

I was put here for a purpose

I will show them I am not worthless.
