![]() StandA Poem by Elizabeth Porterfield![]() It's the ones we consider the weakest who are often the strongest. Why? They have the strength to stand against the world.![]() I'm so tired of this endless supplication Since when did we become a pleading nation? I will no longer bow To the rules of their nature! I won't let them devour me!
They can try to put me down But again I will rise. It's the one's on their knees That reach the skies. I pray for strength Like the ones before me Who stood against the enemy. The ones who wouldn't let anyone Crush who they were.
I will stand against the oppressive. I will fight those who decide they know whats best for me. They don't know me at all. I am who I am And no one will change that.
I will get down on my knees And pray to the skies, To the God up above Who made me. I will stand my ground and no one will make me someone I'm not. © 2012 Elizabeth Porterfield |
