Rise Above
You-
Who have always been silent--
This is your time to rise--
To feel astonished.
Do you hear the cry of the poor?
The ABUSED,
The BEATEN,
The MUTED,
And-
The LEFT BEHIND
This is the time--
This will be our battle cry.
The time for you stand tall and to battle all the demons against you,
The time for you to ignore what others think about your actions,
The time to brush all the weights off your shoulders,
The time to pick up all the shattered pieces that had once fell amongst the floor.
No longer shall you be pushed down,
No longer shall you allow others to leave bruises on you,
No longer shall others walk by you
No longer shall others ignore your thoughts and feelings.
This time is yours,
Do not ever stop fighting to get to the top-
Do not allow others to crush your dreams-
Do not allow others to judge your decisions-
Do not allow anyone else to change who you are-
The time is yours--
Yours to rise.
