This is where I stand

by kate   Nov 16, 2008


This is where I stand.
on my two feet on the ground.
waiting for someone to knock me over.
take me by the hand and push me down.

this is where I stand.
waiting for people to stab me in the back.
but I'm not willing to fall down.
I'll let my blood fall down to the ground.
but I'm not willing to break.

this is where I stand.
judge me with my opinion.
judge me for liking myself.
make fun of me with dis-pare.
so if I honestly care.

this is where I stand.
willing to fight this battle of ours.
willing to fight for what I do believe in.
have an argument with me see who wins.

this is where I stand.
our president is different now.
so what, who cares.
if he's different, he'll probably be better then the rest.
so talk bad about him but you'll see.

this is where I stand.
I'll let the wind blow but not blow me over.
I'll let the rain fall down, soaking me.
but I'm not going to move.
just to have you get your way.

this is where I stand.
on my two feet.
waiting to see who can destroy me.
go ahead and try.
I'll bet you, I'm better then you without calling names.
without being judgmental.

this is where I'm going to stand.
till the day I die.

    This poem I enjoyed because it was all about the person you are....You should be very proud of who you are and where you stand no matter what....Never let anybody live your life, life it for yourself....Great job with this one 5/5 GG23

    No imagery, except a stubborn old lady.
    This was sort of a dull poem. I like the creativity behind it. It's like your declaring yourself.
    But if you're going to stand there until you die, why should you have to declare yourself. It's a bit unstable and... difficult to understand.
    Add flavor, spice it up a little.

    You have made your stand and your originality stands out

    well done

    it may flow even beter
    This is where I stand.
    on my two feet on the ground.

    if you lose one of the "on"s and use a "with"
    This is where I stand.
    with my two feet on the ground.
