I will not die. 

Suppression, shame does not keep me down. 

Changing me to my core 

Does not change my core. 

I am who I am; 

I will remember who I am. 

When I catch my breath, 

I will get strength to my spine 

And claim again who I am. 

The earth will not die 

And neither will I. 

I AM. 

Sweep out the cobwebs 

Ache loose the pain. 

Sing praise to all 

Goodness Without any shame. 

The dance never stops, 

The dance never slows, 

We might change the beat 

But never The…heat.
