You Can't Change Me

You try to silence my voice,
Maybe I won't speak at all.

You push me away,
Maybe I won't answer your call.

You ignore my views,
Maybe I'll keep my eyes closed.

You think I am worthless,
But I think you should know,

You will never change me,
As hard as you may try.

You can hurt me if you want.
You can make me want to cry.

But it will never work.
Rest assured that is true.

I can only be myself.
I don't have to be anything for you.
