I Won't Give Up

You hope for my demise,
but I refuse to fall.

You push me,
but I refuse to stay down.

You want to see me broken,
but I refuse to give you the satisfaction.

I will get up,
though it may seem bleak.
I will get up,
against the forces pushing against me.

Come at me with all your strength—
I won’t relent.
I won’t.
