I Refuse
There are people that want to take my right to live to erase people like me to force me to live in misery
I know they aren't all evil But they don't want to understand me And they do want to control me So how can I trust them?
Especially when They bully me into compliance Threaten me into hiding Force me to follow their rules
But one thing they will never do is make me give up
I refuse
No matter what else they take from me they will never take my hope my will to fight
I refuse
When they try to smother me I will scream out louder
When they try to keep me down I will rise up stronger
When they try to break my spirit I will refuse to give up
