Defeated
I feel defeat, pain and disbelief.
This world on my shoulders
making me feel colder. I walk
in respect so I can project this
image so clean thats seldom
seen. Only God knows why
everyone is trying to reach the
top and suddenly drops. I have
seen the ups and downs of life.
I have shared tears walking this
road refusing to go back. The
future is what I see and the
past is looking back at me. I
will never walk in defeat or let
my heart fall in too deep. Life is
a steep the highest mountain I
have reached. The distance we
must go to find our worth and
grow. I have progress fast once
a child now a woman. I refuse
to be under lock and key. I'm
not owned by any man. He can
either take my hand or watch
this door slam. My pretty brown
is worth more than gold its
worth rubies I was told. I will
not be defeated by man or
abused while in his hands. So
take a good look at me and
see defeat will never be apart
of me.
