My spirit is unbreakable,
through the insults, berating
and parading themselves through the stifling
existence of this southern land.
What more can you do to me,
that hasn't been done already?
Having confused the words "husband" with "enemy" in our
marriage. The man who takes away
what his wife loves most so he can feel
better about himself is not a man at all.
But my spirit remains unbreakable.
One day Justice shall be meted out
and you will pay accordingly.
And joy shall be my closest companion,
all the days of my life.
My spirit remains unbreakable.

Written for the movie The Color Purple starring Whoopi Goldberg and Danny Glover. One of my favorite movies of all time.
