stubborn

an excerpt from EGO DEATH

I am so stubborn

it’s what you declare when you don’t like how I act

I am so stubborn

it’s a statement of fact

I am so stubborn

I don’t back down in a fight

I am so stubborn

I stand my ground when I know I’m right

I am so stubborn

that I’ll speak up and be loud

I am so stubborn

I sometimes will act too proud

I am so stubborn

that I may charge forward blindly

I am so stubborn

I don’t greet defeat kindly

Now, I am so stubborn

that when I finally begin to heal

I don’t let you set me back or hurt me,

your words cannot creep in and deter me

See, I am so stubborn

that even if there are setbacks I’ll be up again fighting

For I am so stubborn

that you cannot steal my soul

I am so stubborn

cause I know myself better than I know anything at all
