I Will Not

I Will Not

I will not live in fear
  I will not hide my pain
    I will not give in to hate
      I will not suffer in silence
        I will not give up on life
          I will not believe that everyone is unkind
            I will not spend too much time crying in vain
              I will not allow my mental health define me
                I will not love too much that I lose my self
                   But I cannot do what I will not do

                       Maybe I should?
                         
                          Scattered Thoughts
                            Patty LeDuc
