Brick by brick,
I'll build myself up.
Bit by bit,
I'll learn to be tough.
To stand up for myself,
Do I need to push them down?
Land my feet on their backs,
And reach higher ground.
But if that's what it takes,
To be strong, to be me.
Will I be willing to exchange,
The last shreds of my dignity?
And if I don't, how will I face,
This lifetime of being caged?
