Stand

I stand against injustice.

All I see

is pain and tears

that go on

through the years.

All I hear

are bitter words

shouted in rage

that should never be heard.

 

All I know

are bittersweet things.

All I know

are wasted flings.

All I know

and all I am

was always

a sham.

I can’t take it anymore…

 

I am ready to fight,

ready to fall,

ready to stand

through it all.

I stand to bleed,

I stand to fight

against the creatures

of the night.

 

You went away

and tromped

on my heart.

Just that.

tore me apart.

I promised

to be strong

and right

all that was wrong.

As weak as I feel,

I know what is true.

I fight for love

unlike you.

 

I am ready to fight,

ready to fall,

ready to stand

through it all.

I stand to bleed,

I stand to fight

against the creatures

of the night.

 

And if I don’t stand,

then who?

Long has there been a person

to fight for what is true.

Even as I know

that I might die,

it’s worth it to find

people still alive.

Stand for so little,

yet so much;

I glance at my heart,

which I tenderly touch.

 

I am ready to fight,

ready to fall,

ready to stand

through it all.

I stand to bleed,

I stand to fight

against the creatures

of the night.

 

All I feel

is the glory.

All I feel

is the victory.

All I taste

is the sweet

call of your

final defeat.

 

Stand for eternity,

stand forever.

Stand against enmity,

stand for power.

To stand for what is right.

I will stand.

Author's Note

Some people, and realities, in life are unfair without having to be. Why let them get away with it? Stand up and be strong, readers. You can face all of your difficulties. You have the strength inside of you. You just have to find it.
