No Surrender Poem by Christopher Tye

No Surrender

Throughout my life,
I've never compromised my principles,
No matter what life has thrown at me,
I've never surrendered my beliefs.

I stood by my religion,
When all those around me,
Tried to break my faith,
But I didn't surrender.

I could have easily given in,
But that's not how I live my life,
Hatred and vengeance never became part of me,
For I never surrendered to fear.

My moral principles have stayed the same,
I never took the path of self-destruction,
Never using drink to hide pain,
I never surrendered my faith in god.

I always stayed loyal to my-self,
No matter the cost to my life,
I had to live my life my way,
But at least I never surrendered.
