I will always fight the good fight, regardless of what was said, in this place I belong. |
-Such Resolve Won’t Break- by Keaton Foster Standing Clinching fists Biting my lip Screaming Down I will not go Below I won’t stoop Here I’ll remain No matter The case Regardless Of what I alone Must face You won’t Break me You can’t Dismantle me I won’t be Destroyed Despite And with regard To your best intentions I will continue on Such resolve won’t break I was made for this Born into the fire Thrown into the pit Told I would not Amount to shit Assured I’d fail Not because Of what I did But because Of who I am The son of fools A mistake too soon Not supposed to happen But I did Brought into this world Kicking and screaming A child of sin An offspring of the same I was given away Taken to a darker place Lent over to heathens They to always telling me Child of no one You don’t belong Stay here you can But it will cost you An ounce of flesh I paid them well What choice did I have None But now In this place In this new wilderness In this world of creatures I myself have become A beast All the choices are now Without question Mine to make Each decision Each dimension All that it will mean And what could be Are factors considered Such resolve won’t break Such conditioning Has prepared me well Better than most I know what it takes And what must be done In order to survive I won’t be denied this life The one that as I child Repeatedly I was told Was not meant to be In their face Continually I spit I never have Nor will I ever Accept such an idea As not belonging here… Such Resolve Won’t Break Written by Keaton Foster Copyright © 2015. |
