STAND TALL

STAND TALL By Shantel Cribbs As I step on stage my soul shines bright The crowd goes insane as I sing into the mic Transforming from the crowds energy I become superhuman flying high As I float around the stage It is soon realized That in this moment An inspiring smile reflects through my eyes A simple smile is the reason A reason for changing a life A reason for a couple steps towards the mic But a couple steps away from the mic I go As others tell me “No!” Am I good enough? Will I make it? Streaks of doubt and pain rise As my salty tears hit the pillow side My dreams grow weak As others knock me off my feet But I can’t stay down I won’t stay down I will stand up I WILL STAND TALL! I will listen to my soul And let no one steal my Rock and Roll! Email: [email protected]
