My Dignity

They haunted me down crucify me talk about me but they never took my dignity away from me They turned on me they disrespected me they tried to bring me down but they never took my dignity away from me They tried to say negative things to hurt me they tried to bring me down like the rest of them but they failed because they never took my dignity away from me They mocked me call me names told me what I was not going to do they never supported me in what ever I did I was always alone but it didn’t hurt me because they never took my dignity away from me They took advantage of me misusing me thinking that I didn’t notice they disown me like they didn't know me They segregated their selves away from me like we weren’t family but it didn’t faze me because they never took my dignity away from me They always hated to see me succeed walking in the light of God and holiness they wanted to see me walk in darkness sinning among the people but it didn’t end up that way because they never took my dignity away from me They put whips on my back like they did Jesus nail me with insulting words that would make you give up but I never quit I kept my head up high Because I knew through it all God was still on my side helping me fight through my trails and tribulations Even though as I got older and the road got tougher I still smile because they can’t ever take my dignity away from me
