I Will Not Sacrifice


I will not sacrifice
The parts of me

That make me who I am
Or who I want to be.

I will state my beliefs,
I will scream and shout,
Tell you with frustration in my eyes,
All that I am about.

And don't think for a minute
That I will compromise,
Because you are convinced
That you're the one who's wise.

Curse you
For loving me at night
And not even thinking
To love me when it's light.

I need to love
The person inside of me
And if that means giving you up,
That's the way it's going to be.
