Stand Tall
Don't fall
Stand tall
Don't let that step
Be the last
Because there's more to life
Then that
No promises to be made
Of a paradise in the works
(Not here,
Not on Earth)
But life...
It gets better
Today's wall is tomorrow's path
Don't be afraid
Hold the head high
And walk away
People will be people
They'll be cruel
Forgetful
Spiteful
Evil
But remember
People are diamonds
Common enough, but impossible to break
Perfect, flawless
Except when they're using their hardness
To destroy another
So when the fall is near
Stare into the abyss
Then smirk
And turn away
Today is not the day
To fall
Rather today is
The day
To stand tall

16 year old poet, presenting. I don't know how often I'll write, or what I'll write about, or if I'll write. Because sometimes I'm there, sometimes I'm not. The username is from an anime/manga because sometimes we need to be a little childish. Plus, you can thank KID for getting me into poetry. I don't know what else to say? Hello. It's nice to meet you. How's the weather? (Yes, my icon is a bit of a joke. Hope it makes you smile.)
