Stand Tall

Stand tall and keep going
What goes around come around
What goes up always come down
The same go for life
Something can bring you down
You can wait to something comes around
And bring you up to your feet
Love, life, or anything that need to be up instead of down
And if you don’t stand for nothing
You will fall for anything
So keep going around and around and up
But never down

    Very inspirational! I find this to be something that everyone should be striving for. And I think that you have a great way of putting your thoughts into words that are very uplifting. I really liked reading this, you have a great gift!

    This poem is important because confidence is the key to success. I’m average height for a 19-year-old but when I was younger I was really short. Doesn’t let it justify my actions. I act how I want to act and don’t let others put me down for how I feel and preserve the world. If someone tries to knock you done, just remember that because of that action they are lower than you and could need help. You got this and remember the best is yet to come!
