i've been
NOT
giving in
for so long now
the fight
has become
a battle
the battle
has become
a war
and the war
went on
and became
tomorrow
i've been
NOT
giving in
for so long now
the fight
has left me
bruised
weary
and sore
but i do know
one thing
i’ve
NOT
forgotten
what it is
i’m fighting for
i’ve been
NOT
giving in
for so long now
the fight
has scorched
the earth
around me
as i let this
skirmish of selves
surround me
there will be
no surrender
no capitulation
no bending of the knee
to the imaginary
or the real
there will be
no acquiescence
no resignation
no throwing in of towels
there will be
no yielding
no flag of white
i have
only
just begun
to fight
there will be
no quitting nor ceding
no handing over
no submission
no pleading
NOT
now,
not then
NOT
EVER

You Think I Am Broken
Introduction This is inspired by my situation on Vocal, the Bouke de Vries work and the Screaming Trees song. I know that for many others, they would have walked away from Vocal, but I am taking it as a challenge. I get the feeling that Vocal moderators and others don't want me here (just my imposter syndrome paranoia), but I know a lot of people do, and obviously, some on Vocal do value me, so I will not be giving up.
