I Refuse

Failure is never an option, so I guess all that leaves is winnig. Yeah you got me with your cheap shots but I refuse to quit, stop with the cynical grinning. I now refuse to play the cards I've been dealt, now I'm dealing my own. No longer will I accept to be treated like a pauper , because now I know that I have my own throne. You were right about why I couldnt fit in it really was me, it was because I was above you but still you seemed to get under my skin. I am the beauty but was convinced that I was the beast. It has taken me a while but since then I have risen like yeast. I refuse mediocrity, I'd rather just be myself. So you can no longer mold me into that damnsel in need of help. I am own person, I refuse to be treated like anyone else. And now I know why I refused to love you, I didn't even know how to love myself. I refuse to not live up to my fullest potential and to remain at the status quo, I must keep moving forward since success is the path ive chosen to go. Quite simply, I refuse your negativity, constantly spitting your venomous words at me, saying all the things I can't overcome. But I ask you how can I fail when I am the definition of triumph?
