Strong


I am strong, 

I hold my head up high.

No one can bring me down.

You can keep

Trying,

Trying, 

Trying, 

You'll never get to me.

 

I am strong.

You putting me down

Shows your self-consciousness. 

It makes you look lame and stupid.

 

Thinking small of someone, 

Only makes 

You

Look smaller.

The more you say,

It keeps making you

Smaller,

Smaller, 

Smaller, 

It makes you smaller 

And no one can help you

Up.

You have to get up and

Dust

Yourself

Off.

No one will help you.

 

No one, 

Unless,

You learn.

Learn to care more about

Others

Than yourself.

Don't bring them down.

If you push someone down,

Hold out a hand

And help them 

Back up.

So don't you bring me down today.
