I’ll Stay Gold
By: Tyler Ross
I won’t change these morals, these values I’ve set.
It’s easy to go against every word that is said.
But that isn’t me.
I live my life free
from drinking, drugs, and promiscuous sex.
Forever staying free,
from the substances that alter and abuse the present
and live my life for me, out of step
Not above it all, but from what’s accepted.
My PMA keeps me sound, honest, and understanding.
Staying gold is the mentality I uphold to keep from
drowning.
In a negative world judging the way I lead.
But that’s okay because I’m only in this for me.
For me,
staying gold is the key
to a healthy existence.
Forever I will be resistant.
Call me what you want.
Judge me for the way that I live.
I am still straight edge.
And don’t need people
telling me how I should live.
Nothing they can do can change what this is.
I am a straight edge.
I’ll stay gold for as long as I live.
