Welcome to INSPIRATIONS

No, I Will Not Surrender

No, I Will Not Surrender

No, I will not surrender to all that surrounds me
though thousand pounds lay on my shoulders
and await release from long laid clutter
like muddy rivers in the rain
like a thousand fingers tugging at this pain.
I will not be blindfolded
I will not be obstructed
I will not give in
though tension this body abounds
and deafening voices in my spirit shout
I'll soar above the darkened clouds
and reach new heights of which I dream
When all is not as it would seem
When I am not all that I wish to be.
when burden my eyes fog and weigh on my being
like thousand pound boulders
and drag me down to deep drowning wells
drag me down to drowning hells
and lonely roads of darkened woods
I stand alone
no sun to guide me
no tender touch to stand beside me
No, I will not surrender
to the confusion that embraces me
and the fear that binds me
locked deep in my soul
like a fearful enemy
lurking in darkened overwhelming shadows
I will rise above it all
I will not relinquish all that I have
I will not submit to lonely paths
and empty nights of cold winds blowing
or shivering nights and solitary evenings
displaying all obstacles that attempt to destroy me,
attempt to entrap me
No, I will not give in
I refuse to surrender to all that binds me
and locks me in to this misery I feel
liked padded locks 'til my soul reveals
the strength in me...
I'll overcome
and rise above...
No I will not surrender
No I will not be blindfolded, muted or gagged
I refuse to give in
No, I will not be obstructed
No, I will not give you all that I am
No, I will not give in...
to empty, lonely, eager shades of me.
