I Will Not Break

I will not break
I will stand firm
on my 2 feet
I will find a way
to blow away every obstacle
the tears in my eyes
are not from defeat
are not from the loss
these tears are for
the building of my courage
my eyes gleaming with
water in anticipation
of my next move
I will not break
I will stand firm
my emotions will not rule me
I will not let this fool me
I am a man
with real tears
I cry to mourn my past fears
I am ready for the future
but is the future ready for me?
I do not agree
with your assessment you see
there is no more "we"
there is just me
so I will not break
I will stand firm
I will stand strong
prove all of you wrong
and when the tears fade
I will remain whole
beacuse I
will not
BREAK
