Standing Up ( Lisa Hecmanczuk )

You try to keep me down;

But I stand up,

You try to ignore me;

But I achieve

You pretend I’m not here;

But I breathe

You look at me with disgust;

Yet I smile

You invade my space;

Now I claim it,

You startle me with your anger;

Now I accept it,

Your anger you must now own;

I walk away

My fear no longer rules me;

God does

I will no longer be shut away;

I am myself,

I will let myself shine;

And God will lead me.
