They oppose me with swords,
their virulent words
In futile attempt to drive me away.
In challenging struggles to gain my freedom
I have won the battle.
My tenacity shall not falter.
I have gained my freedom.
Their faces ugly, contorted in hate,
the seek to drive me away.
I may be challenged,
But I shall not be moved.
My life is not theirs to grind into dust.
With sword in hand
I defend my right
to be.
