Standing tall

They told you,

That it was set in stone,

That you'd never be loved,

That you'd always be alone.


Don't fear,

because fear brings pain,

And pain brings the monsters,

Searching for selfish gain.


They made you cry,

Watching in silence,

Your tears running down like a river,

Surrounded by the violence.


Scarred by the millions, 

You still stand.

Broken by the billions,

Your blood a brand.


You hide the pain,

And proudly declare,

"I'll break but I won't bend.

So, Beware!"


They'll pull you down,

Chain you to the ground,

Yet you'll stand tall,

With pride you'll wear your crown.


They could bury you in a grave,

but that won't be your fall,

You'll rise from the dead again,

And you'll be standing tall.
