I refuse

Do you think about the hurt
That will come from what you say?
Do you think those words will never
Be passed along my way?
Does it make you feel that good
To always be putting me down?
Making me feel like trash
That's thrown and stomped on the ground
But I guess all I can really do
Is hold my head up high
And say thank you for making me stronger
Because I refuse to let myself cry
I refuse to let the words you say
Put me in my place
And I hope the fact that this won't break me
Gets thrown back in your face
So go ahead and talk about me
Say those things that are untrue
But let me say this one last thing
I would never do this to you
