I Refuse

You were supposed to train me
Not love me like a father
You are my stone monument
But you make me your weakness
 
And now
 
Now you sit here and say  
It's too dangerous
 
You coddle me
Lessen your punishment
Lessen my pain
 
You say
You can no longer teach me what you know
But in doing so  
 
You KILL YOURSELF  
 
Because they will take me
To dominate you
Yet you won't defend yourself
You won't show your practicality  
 
Through ME

So I refuse to let you do this  
No  
Not through me IN THIS STATE
 
I will find someone to teach me
Break me
Build me
And fight for you
 
Because I won't let you kill yourself  
No  
Not through me
I refuse.
