Through the rains of odds that wet me, I refuse.
I refuse to dissolve, like a rock I am insoluble.
The whirlwinds of suffering, I refuse.
I refuse to be carried away like a mountain I stand.
In the angry rivers of tears, I refuse.
I refuse to drown like a fish I keep swimming.
In the darkness where light is scarce, I refuse.
I refuse to be blind, like an owl I keep seeing.
Though I keep falling, I refuse.
I refuse to surrender so I crawl on.
Though I fear, I refuse.
I refuse to be stripped off my courage.
I refuse for my happiness to molest.
My peace cannot be raped.
My joy cannot be painted red.
I choose to be happy no matter how much it hurts.
