Stand up
A poem about standing up for yourself and what's right.
Stand up for something
live and die for something,
as I'd rather die on my feet
than live on my knees.
Some gotta leave themselves
to realise who they can really be,
some gotta grow themselves
so they can really see,
see the true bits of life
see the little shits who lie,
doesn't have to be with strife
unless thats all you've learnt from life,
i guess I'm not one to talk
i usually walk away ,
from things i don't see
working out that day,
if you ain't gonna hear me
i may as well hold my breath,
no need to waste my time
but i applaud the ones doing their best,
sorry I'm a flighter not a fighter
i don't like conflict,
even if we’re being real
it feels like its pushing an inflict,
gotta keep going, gotta keep moving
you are gonna be fine,
the beautiful things in life
will happen in time.
Feeling pretty strong
or feeling mighty tall,
stand up with all you got
stop leaning against the wall,
sorry if i seem pretty pushy
I'm actually pushing myself,
push myself to strive
for what i wanna be,
I'm doing this for me
but you should take my advice for you,
so could do what you should do
stand up too,
honestly i get a lil bit scared
of what comes after this,
so if you don't like conflict
you’re not the only one who feels like this.
its ok
to walk away,
its ok
if you dont wanna stay,
time to stand up
time to rise up
time to stand up
time to rise the love up,
listen to your inner voice
you have a true choice,
do whatchya gotta do
to feel the rejoice,
time to stand up
time to rise up
time to stand up
time to rise the love up
we must not hate the ones
who wronged us,
for if we hate them
we become them,
time to stand up
time to rise up
time to stand up
time to rise the love up
toxic ones will come after
everything that you've become,
and give you the tools you need
to destroy everything you've overcome,
time to stand up
time to rise up
time to stand up
time to rise the love up
