You try to keep me down; But I stand up, You try to ignore me; But I achieve You pretend I’m not here; But I breathe You look at me with disgust; Yet I smile You invade my space; Now I claim it, You startle me with your anger; Now I accept it, Your anger you must now own; I walk away My fear no longer rules me; God does I will no longer be shut away; I am myself, I will let myself shine; And God will lead me.
