Please Stand Up

Will the real Erin Suzanne Jackson please stand up?

The only one standing will be me

I stand straight wih my head up

My face will express glee

Everyone will turn to see this short girl with bright brown M&M eyes

Within her eyes they'll see that sh's eccentris, a hidden pincess, and gifted

They have read all about her, but meeting her is a true honor

As she speaks, their doubts about her are lifted

Will my family please stand up?

They are my support and motivation

They push me forward every day

With their encouragement I precede escalation

Will my true friends please stand up?

When I was down you lifted me up

You provided the advice I needed to hear

I wanted to give up on life because of my messes, but you stayed by my side to cleanup

Will my mentors please stand up?

You were once strangers to me for some time

Then I listened and learned from you

You helped me up on the mountain of succes that I continue to climb

Will my role models please stand up?

Whether you are famous or not I look up to you

I learned your stories and you inspire me

I want to be like you so every day I pursue

Will my haters please stand up?

Thank you for trying

You may have brought me down, but you also helped

You remind me to keep fighting so that I am soaring not flying

Will my dream please stand up?

You stand higher than me, but you will be reached

I will become a best-selling author

To the next generation I will teach.
