TAKE A STAND

by aceonnaconn

Stand up Take a stand Take a stand for who? A stand for me? A stand for you? A stand for maybe even us? Who is me? Who is you? Who is us? We are who we choose to be. What we portray ourselves to be. How people perceive us. Sometimes it's rough to fit in in this world of judgment. This world of cruel. So take a stand. A stand for them. Those. Those who carry on. Carry on through the rough and also the cruel. They take this stand.
