strong enough to make me brave

Linds M. Crate

you’re not going to win
this isn’t a game,
and this is my life;
going to take it back now

you’re not going to hold me
in uncertain hands
forever
because i deserve more than that

i won’t be muted and persecuted
by things that weren’t my fault
you pushed too far but i said no
i ran away

don’t regret not giving myself to you
because my body is a sacred temple
wouldn’t let it be defiled by your name
i’m just lucky that adrenaline rush came

because you were stronger than
i was,
but my fear was strong enough
to make me brave.
