Reverberating Shouts...

A fire within me,

Raging and ranting-looming to spout,

Quelling my fears; prods me forth...

Baptism with terror has resurrected me.

I won't cower...

I won't bow...

No, I won't be muted,

My voice too shall with the others roar.

I won't forget...

Nor will forgive...

I won't lie down,

And see you revel in unremorseful glee.

I won't cry...

I won't weep...

Neither shed tears,

No vulnerability to pain inflicted, will I display.

I am fortified,

Ready to fight,

The word 'I' just not me...

But millions and millions of 'WE'!!
