Dear Defeat

I won’t back down
whatever curves you throw my way
I’ll let out all I’ve got to say
You’ve tried this before
And for a while I was down to the core
Not this time
You don’t get to let in a chime
I still hear you everyday
Telling me that there’s no way
But that thought can no longer stay
I let you become a part of me
But really now I see
I’m very well off without all the noise you make
You wanted me to be a reflection of the you that you so despise
But for your own sake
Pick on someone your own size
I’m bigger than you now
And I know you question how
Walk out the door
What are you waiting for?
I won’t give in
‘Cause now I found
My own sound
I won’t back down
