Level Poem by Jessica Robert

You can call me any name
You can judge me as you wish
Until you finally feel that rush of power
You can cut and slash my heart
With anything you want
You can rip apart my self-esteem
And blow away my candle of hope and dreams
You can yell at me until you feel bigger
You can hit me with your words
You can make me cry and break down
And tell me that I am nothing to you
You can throw me down into despair
But you can never make me into your puppet
And create me in you vision
I will never allow you to pin me down
And make me as you wish
Don't even dare to try
Because it will never be
You can do all those things to me
But I will never become your slave of injustice
You can beat me with your chains
Well bring on the pain
I am me
And that's just the way it is
You can whip me with negativity
But I will never be sunken down to your level
