Can't Take Away Who I Am

You can mock me
Try to take me down
With you
To your dark and unhappy world

You can keep me locked up for days
Leave me with the voices
And the images of pain
Watch me go insane

You can refuse to feed me
Try to kill my spirit
Like they killed yours
Show me no mercy

You can force me to fit in
Wear the clothes you pick out
Smile even when I'm crying inside
Try to make me like you

But you can't make me believe in the things
I can't see
And just because you said it was right
Does not mean it is true

You can beat me
With your words and knives
But you can't take away
Who I am
