Do Not Deny
Do not deny my right to feel
The ache in my heart is undeniably real.
You can not ignore my emotions to save your ideal.
The truth is much too hard to conceal.
Do not deny my right to make choices.
Believe me, I’ve heard all your eloquent voices.
I am still the true master of my own fate.
You had your chance to step up to the plate.
Do not deny my right to love.
It flies to my heart on the wings of a dove.
The love of myself has at last been unbound.
In spite of you, my peace I have found.
