NOT BACKING DOWN

NOT BACKING DOWN
No one has the right to judge me
Because no one really knows what
I've seen and been through in my life.              
They may have heard about my stories
But they never did once feel what I feel
in my soul and in my heart.

I'm human! I'm human I say!
I've made mistakes!
Deal with it!
I'm just like you!
Stop judging me and accept me
for who I truly am.

Before you start talking
Try once to listen!
Before you begin to read
You should be quiet and think!
Before you criticize me
Wait until it's your turn!

Before you sin
Try praying and learn to forgive!
AND...
Before you ever quit on me
You should try harder!

I don't care what you say about me!
Nor do I care what you think.
Many people want to see me fall.
I will NOT fall. Others want to see me
shed a tear. I will NOT cry or back
down easily.

Look at yourself!
What have you become?

Hearing is when you're not listening.
Reacting is when you're not feeling.

I smile to mask the pain in my heart.
I laugh to conceal the tears in my eyes.
I grew stronger with every battle I fought.
I won't back down now!

I will NEVER GIVE UP!
