I refuse

I refuse to be walked on
i will be strong and alert
i refuse to be stepped on
i refuse to be hurt

i refuse to be abused
I'll state my opinion
I've learned from you
that loneliness is the human condition

if i must live my life lonely
then let it be so
for down the road to conformity
i will not go

before I'm gone
to you i will say
i hope you live on
to live another day

to live through your life
as i did before
alone in your strife
with only yourself to scorn

i will no longer be yours
to complain at, and use
our lost friendship i will not mourn
to this. i refuse
