We Refuse To Stop Poem by payton mcqueeney

Has it really come to this?

I'm Too unsure

In front of the mirror

In front of my friends

How can I believe I'm not equal

If I don’t have to fight


Has it really come to this?

I’m pathetic

Crying because of me

Crying because of them

How can I not continue

if even they do


They fight I write

They smile through dirt

While they bleed out

I cry through my mask

While I’m not noticed


Has it really come to this?

I guess it has

Someday we will stop

Someday we will stand together

But until then

We refuse to stop
