StandA Poem by Elizabeth PorterfieldIt'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 |
