Head Held High

Keep your head high,

Speak not a word.

Do not bend

And do not break.

Pressure from all sides,

Pushing for you,

Pushing against you.

Never miind the voices,

Keep on walking.

Ignore the sneers,

Ignore the whispers.

Forget the past,

Brace yourself for the future,

It is unwritten

Just like you.

Break the chains

That hold you down,

Shrug off the needy hands,

Pulling you apart.

Walk along the broken road,

Pick up the pieces you've lost;

The burden becoming too much too bear.

Ease the temptation of the blade,

With its' glistening edges

Calling for release of this weary world.

Say your final good-byes,

And don't dare to look back.
