Repression

All my life I have tried to succeed

But my past keeps reminding me

That I don’t have a lot of support

Give up your dreams and abort

Those lies keep filling my head

Making it hard to get out of bed

The constant struggle is near

Feeding on all my fear

I don’t want to give up and fail

But what oh what does that entail

To disengage from the world I know

But then what will I have to show

My pride and respect in tact

I won’t give up I’ll fight back

I’ll make a life for my kin

Pulling from my strength within

I’ll teach them to follow their dreams

To resist the devils schemes

To hold their heads up high

Listen up this is my battle cry

Nobody can keep me down

No, nobody will keep me down
