If

July 9, 2014

If I dont speak up to you, it doesn't mean that I'm weak,

If I'm silent, dont claim that i can't speak

If I dont cry, it doesn't mean that i can't feel,

And If I don't bend to your pleasure, dont try because I never will

You think I cant hear you whisper or laugh your lies?

I'm right in front of you, who only tries

You think you can push me down with your hatred and words?

I'll stand strong and fight whats heard

Don't butcher my dreams, passions and spirit,

I'm sick of the games, it's time to end it I'm done with being nice, I'm done with the cruelty,

This ends now, you're not going to break me

Shattered os my confidence, no longer comfortable,

This is not my nature, you've all made me unsuitable

If I don't Dance to your aprroval, it doesn't mean that i can't,

If I dont face you, it doesn't mean that I wont!

If I'm not who you wish me to be, it doesn't mean that I'm not true,

And If you dont like who I am, grow up because it is not up to you!

You try to slam me down with your so called power,

I'll slam you to your knees ten times harder!

Your words may flicker a bit of doubt and pain upon me,

Yet it ignites my temper, something you do not want to see!

So, If you try to bring me down to where you think you'll control me,

Be prepared for a war with a power that'll unfold inside me.
