I won't let you win
I won't let you rip
the pride out of my chest
I won't let you make me feel
like I'm any less than of a being
since the day you contaminated
my body and my thoughts

the day you made me feel like
an empty abyss
alone within the universe
searching for my meaning
a meaning I once found
but you pushed it out of reach
drifting away slowly
right at my finger tips

you made me question my sanity
and weaken the strength
I wear as armor
you won't win

I'm going to flourish like
the elegant blossom
I've always been
