Spirit
Not only did they break our bones
 they tried to break our spirits
 
 not only did they burn our faces
 but they tried to steal our identities
 
 
 not only did they make us hide
 they made us doubt 
 if hope was all there was left then there was nothing to loose
 but yet we lost it all
 
 not only do we fall in love 
 we sometimes fall without a parachute 
 
 not only dose tell ourselves such lies
 but we believe them
 
 keep telling me how you are not perfect
 how you are fat
 ugly
 stupid...
 i will hear you speak 
 but i won't listen
 
 not only did you bring tears from joy when you arrived to this world
 you will also bring them when you leave 
 
 not only have we been pushed down
 but every single time our lifted our spirits one step higher 
 
 they 
 can't make us loose our voice 
 they won't make us loose our spirit
