I REFUSE TO BE YOUR TRAGEDY
I REFUSE TO BE AN OPTION VERSUS A PRIORITY
I REFUSE TO BE DEFINED BY SOCIETY AND SOCIALITY
I REFUSE TO BE A BODY COUNT ON A LIST OF COUNTED BODIES
I REFUSE TO BE MISTREATED
I REFUSE TO BE DEFEATED
I REFUSE TO BE LABELED BY YOUR PERCEPTIONS
I REFUSE TO BE UNHAPPY
Now I know I started this poem with some affirmations
But let me make one thing clear
I know my worth
I know my value
I know the validity of my credibility
My rapport speaks for itself
Too many times I've found myself going back and forth
With people who want to see me fail
I'm not going backwards
I'm moving forward
I don't care who chooses to respect me
I don't care who chooses to like or dislike me
I don't care who chooses to be a friend, frenemy, or enemy
I'm a movement and force
I don't need cosigners cosigning my value
I remember how I lost my mind
Went crazy trying to fit in with the culture
When the culture should've found its place with me
I don't follow trends
I set them
My style is literal lyrical lavish
Translation
I don't just set the bar
I am the bar
I refuse meaning
I shun
I brush off
I ignore
I reject
Anything and everything that does not bring me peace and love
If that includes you then it includes you
