I Will Not

I will not let you laugh at me.

I will not let you control me.

I will not let your words get to me.

And I will not say a word about it.

I will not speak up to express myself.

I will not tell you things you hate to hear.

I will not let you hear the hurt in my voice.

I will not show you how broken you've made me.

And I will not cry.
