Stand Up Tall

Stand Up Tall

A Poem by Somber Eyes

I know it's hard when you're feeling down
You look for a friend, but no one's around
You feel so low, you've been sad so long
You can't find the strength to carry on
You don't have the strength for one more try
All that you can think of is to give up and die
But when you reach the bottom and there's no place left to fall
You find the strength to stand up tall


I know the weight that falls on you
I know the pain, I've felt it, too
Down at the bottom, at the end of the line
That eternal darkness where the sun won't shine
When you're feeling down and out, and you can't see
When you think that you're all alone, just think of me
When you feel insignificant, when you feel so small
I'll give you the strength to stand up tall


If you reach your hand to me
I'll help you overcome this misery
So you can finally be free


When all you want to do is scream and shout
When you're sick of this world and you're looking for a way out
When you're on the edge and you're just about to fall
Please think of me and stand up tall


Take a good look at what you have
And tell me this, is it really so bad?
I'm telling you, it could be worse
You could be riding in the back of a hearse
I know you think that's what you want
Then you wouldn't have to deal with the teasing and the taunts
But there are many people there for you to call
And we can help you stand up tall


When you're feeling low and you can't see
A way to overcome all this adversity
When you feel this world has you backed against the wall
We'll give you the strength to stand up tall
We'll show you how to stand up tall
You'll see that you can stand up tall
