My Words

You took them

Right from my mouth

Threw them on the ground

And stepped all over them

You killed them

Put out my dreams

Crushed underfoot

Said they were worthless

Well I don't think they are

So I'm taking a stand

Against you, against the world

You will never put me down

If you don't like them

Then leave me alone

Let me dream, let me speak

As I have the given right

You will never win me over

I will always fight back

I'll say what I want

For they're my words

And I will speak them

If someone rejects your words they reject your life. This poem describes the process of deciding we have worth and a right to speak up whether in writing or otherwise. Well written.
