I Won'T

I won't settle or let it rest 
     That deep desire that lives in my chest 

I'm not backing down or moving to the side 
     I'm sitting up in the stirrup and valiantly toward my dreams, I will ride 

I won't stop or quail 
     I will try again, no matter how often I may fail 

I'm not missing out on my glory 
     I have truths to tell and they're all my story 

I won't shy away or cower down 
     I'm standing erectly; no time for laying down 

I won't be a victim...
for I am the victor 

I won't fall to challenges...
for I am a conqueror 

I won't 

I won't 

I won't...

because I AM
