This Is Why I Stand
Refusing to retreat
Into the shadows
And be silenced
Once more
I stand for you
For me and
Everyone else
Like me
Who feels
Tossed aside
And not
Important
Enough
To be seen
I stand to
Myself be seen
And to be heard
I stand so that
For once
You will
Finally know
Exactly
What I
Proudly
Stand for
I stand and
I raise my voice
In protest
And I shout
Because
If nothing else
I will not just
Put up
With societies
Complete
And utter
Bullshit
Any longer
I stand to give
A voice
To the voiceless
And bring fellow
Outcasts
Together
As one
So we can fight
Against conformity
Together
And finally
Make the world
In which
We are forced
To live better
That is why
I stand
Why I speak up
Fight back
Why I exist
How about you?
