Now is the time to stand tall,
no longer is it to time to fall.
Standing under the spot light,
it is my time to shine so bright.
No longer will I be walked over,
no longer will I hide under the covers.
No more will I stay quiet,
I will start my own riot!
It's time to put the foot down,
and I will wear a smile instead of a frown.
Go ahead and start a fight,
for I shall win with all my might.
You want a war you got one,
I will not hide or run no more!
I'll speak up and tell my peace,
and leave you alone to weep in defeat.
Now is the time for ME to stand tall,
no longer shall I fall.

PoetryWhen your feeling down and out, don't give up. I wrote this when I was being bullied and decided enough was enough. This is a freestyle poem with different rhythm styles mixed in as well.
