Retain

My child my child

Born into this place of misery and suffering
Never knowing all the hazards a new day will bring
If you compromise yourself you are diminishing
Don't deny the flame inside and you will never be

Retain your pride
Don't believe all the lies that they sell you
Retain your mind my child
Don't relinquish your right to forever retain

Persecutors bring resistance boldly face them down
Social norms leave women scorned don't let them run you down
You must choose to never let go of your will it's free
Dominate your own existence as the only queen

Men full of lies hid in disguise you will hear them say
Just wear this mask no questions asked in our society
Stop right there don't you be scared hold up your dignity
Proclaim your thoughts at any cost and they will leave eventually
