I refuse to be dissuaded
Deterred or denied
The shelter & comforts
Of the other side
You can attempt to block me
From all its shimmering splendor
But I don’t know the meaning
Of I surrender
What is this?
What does it mean?
Rolling off my tongue
It sounds obscene
I have not relayed it
Nor is it referenced on my ride
No matter how bumpy the road gets
Or tumultuous the tide
Your steely contempt may rock me
I am a contender
I don’t know the meaning
Of I surrender
Passionately I have played it
Without brakes applied
My soul has been my compass
My heart has been my guide
They are exempt when life knocks me
Away from my defender
I don’t know the meaning
Of I surrender
I will move on till I’ve made it
Through the hurt that haunts my stride
Safely to the haven
On the other side
