I Will Not Back Down (From Who I Am)

I am not
Who you
Wanted
Me to be
Who you
Told me
To be
Quiet and meek
Without
A single thought
To call my own
Despite your efforts
That was not
And will not
Ever be me
I know better now
And I will never
Be silenced
So go ahead
Hate me now
All that hate is
Is fuel for
The fire
Burning
In my soul
And I will
Never back down
