I will rise

You try to bind me down with your lies
Tie me up with your deceit 
You may try to tear me down 
Break my body 
But inspite of it all, I will rise

Your words like a sword 
Driven straight to the heart
Leaving me bleeding and wounded
But I will not succumb 
To the pain you inflict
Cause you may try to break my body
My soul will forever be free

You lay a trap to ensnare me
Stabbing me in the back
With the dagger that you wield
You cage me, bind me in chains
Lock me in the dark recesses 
What ever you try to do to me
I shall always find my way
Cause I know I shall rise

Like a dead weight you drag me down
Into the depths of despair
You make me feel pain
Like I have never felt before 
Pushing me into the darkness
But somehow I'll shall find the light in me
And banish the darkness that engulfs me

You try knock me down
From the pedestal that you make
That I didn't ask for, but you put me there 
You judge me, mock me
You call me names 
Make fun of who I am 
But you'll never try to   understand me

You say I am different, I am not normal
Causing you to Zumba 
Start calling me names
Your words like stones pelted my way 
Causing me to bleed, causing me to fall
But through it all I shall not give up
Cause I know that I shall rise

You don't approve of the things i do
You call it something of no use
Just a waste of time of a fool
Nothing good will ever come 
from the things I do 
But I know, inspite of all your take downs
I will a rise for all to see

I shall walk with dignity
With my head held high
Being who I should be 
Being who I want to be
Who I choose to love
What I choose to do
Is a decision solely 
For me to make
And I will not anyone 
Take that away from me 
Cause I have the utmost faith in me
And will never loose hope in me

But then there's a you
That cares for me
That supports you, makes you feel safe
Never ever leaving your side
Holding you close in a warm embrace
That fills you with positivity and hope
That you once knew
Never truly letting go of you
Giving you the love that you need 
Cleaning your wounds when you bleed
But through it all will stay with you
Cause with their love We shallYou try to bind me down with your lies
