You Will Not Destroy Me

This is an apology
I’m not so sure you’ll ever need
I don’t know what to believe
These days my mind is not at ease
I’m plagued with thoughts that won’t let up
Of all the space I’m taking up
My queer friends taught me to be strong
But I’m weaker than I let on

If eggshells could cut our feet like glass
That would make sense of the blood our path
Sitting on the fence, it doesn’t make you wise
Celebrate the courage of those who look their monsters in the eye
and say

You will not destroy me
I won’t let you
I won’t let you

But if eggshells could cut our feet like glass
That could make sense of the blood our path
Sitting on the fence, it doesn’t make you wise
Celebrate the courage of those who look their monsters in the eye
and say

You will not destroy me
I won’t let you
I won’t let you
