dont be a carpet for men's dirty feet .....

This is about how to survive.
This is about endurance.

This is about defiance.
This is, most of all, about refusal.

The refusal one gives inside, when one is in every other way powerless.
I am not what you see me as, I am not what you want me to be, I am not what you or anyone may tell me I am---I am my self.

You can call me but you cannot name me.
You can trap me but you will not keep me.
You can hit me but I will always, always, hit you back,

even knowing you will hit me harder for it.
I will hit you back because to accept your blow without hitting back is to say I deserve it.

This is about strength. This is about bravery.
