Can't Hold Me Down

Words are razor sharp,
Attitude is on full negativity,
Knocking me off my feet,
Crushing me,
Spirit and all,
But just as I feel myself giving in,
I feel an extra ounce of swag,
An extra ounce of God in me,
Telling me to rise,
Don’t give up,
The weight eases and slowly lifts off of me,
I can breathe again,
Can’t be held down,
With your bad mood,
With your words of pain and sorrow,
I’ll push it right off of me,
Brush it off my shoulders,
And keep walking,
Can’t hold me down,
I refuse to fall,
And never get back up,
I have to keep moving,
Have to keep building my faith in God,
Have to think of my family that loves me,
My friends that care for me,
With all of that,
I can keep moving,
Can’t hold me down,
I’ll just come back up after I fall,
So if you’ve come to tear me to shreds,
You’ll be sadly mistaken and sadly disappointed.
