You can’t hold me down
You can’t hold me
You can beat me and drag me through the mud
You can’t hold me down
You can call me every name you can ever think of
You can’t hold me down
For I am human
I dare to laugh, lean, dream, fly
For my spirit dares to soar
I must obey it’s calling
Yes, I must obey
For to let you hold me down would be worse than death
For to let you try and break my will
Sorry, my will can not be broken
My spirit can not be crushed
Again my spirit says go
I must obey it’s calling
No matter what you do
No matter what you say
Remember, I have a spirit
I must be free
No, you can’t hold me
No matter your comments
No matter the pain
You can’t bind me
You can’t chain me
For I dare to dream
You can’t hold me down
NO, YOU CAN’T HOLD ME

Welcome
DON'T FENCE ME IN ! Thanks TONY it is a perennial cri de coeur all through the ages and all over the World. None of us wants to be shackled ~ because Man was born to Free. It raises the question ~ How free are you? ~ How free am I? Yours BRIAN
Good questions
Nice work.... You can't hold me down from commenting..... Lol
Never let the elevator
Take you down
Oh no lets go
I get knocked down
But I get up again
You're never gonna keep me down
I get knocked down
A great poem of struggle and hope, really enjoyed it!
