CONSIDER THIS GOODBYE
Consider This Goodbye
My spirit might be broken
But I will always be outspoken
I will stand up for what’s right
I will not give up the fight.
My name, you will not sully
I do not care if you’re a bully
Where you tear people down
I straighten out their crown
You are a poison, not a gift
Where as I always uplift
Maybe you should try it
Instead, you just deny it
Words cut like a knife
I will not allow you in my life
With wings I soar so high
And away from you, I fly
You are just not a nice guy
So consider this goodbye
