Quit stepping on my pride

It's all I have anymore

You don't have to take my side

But your cruelty is uncalled for

You believe that I am wrong

That my life is now a disgrace

But I am going to stand strong

And steadfast in my place

I hear you pick me apart

And you say it's all a choice

But this has been me from the start

And I will not hide my voice

I will stand up for myself

And will overcome my pain

That you contribute to yourself

By being full of disdain

I want to be recognized for me

Even if it's not by you

No matter who doesn't agree

I will be free now and pull through
