I'm tired of losing
Seeing stars and not being able to touch them
Feeling like ropes tied around my wrist and I can't cut them
So today I break free
Put my knee in dirt... knee on field... fist in air...I protest. That my life matters
That my dreams matter taking the weights off my tongue
And allow my words to tear through matters
Tear through barriers like cleats on turf
Free to bend... but not break
I can't break
I can't stop dreaming
This dream is apart of me, I need it to breathe...
So pardon me if giving up was never a language I was taught
Pardon me if I serve a God of solutions
Rose from fear
Now my courage NO longer locked in a cave
Killed my fear now it's locked in a grave
Walking a route unpaved
I choose the path with hardships and enemies because the inner me won't let me take the easy route
Legs won't let me doubt
Mind won't let the word "can't" come out my mouth
I've been spoon fed greatness all my life
Well now it's time to let it out
