Stand Tall!

I see why you cry at night,
I see why you hide from sight.
You are scared of what we think,
That’s what makes your heart sink.

But why do you care so much?
Why do you let it touch,
Your heart and mind?
What do you hide behind?

I know how you feel,
I’ve felt like that a lot,
How could I not?
I hide behind books.

I still want to run,
I still want a gun,
But what I want,
Is not what I need.

I need to stand and fight,
Instead of take flight,
I need to stand up,
Instead of sit down.

No matter how you feel,
You can’t hide,
Even if you can’t deal,
Stay and stand tall.
