Stand Tall

Push away the pain
withdraw into your shell
hope the blood won't stain
the sheets on which it fell

wipe the tears away
from your swollen eyes
close them tight and pray
you'll stay beneath these skies

set aside your doubt
and try to force a smile
hope that things are bout
to get better in a little while

pull on that little mask
keep your chin up high
it will do the task
and help the days go by

show the world you're strong
even though your breaking
prove the others wrong
when they try to catch you faking

they wont understand
your silent cries and shouts
that's not a helping hand
that's another world of doubts

your tears will go unnoticed
as like rain, they fall
your eyes a shimmering mist
as you fight to stand tall
