I Will Stand Up.

July 26, 2013
By Anonymous

Growing up, Growing up day by day.
Growing up, Growing up still can not stand to see your face.
Growing up a little at a time,
The regrets are all left behind.
But i still cannot get these words out of my head, All the memories, All the things that you had said.
And to think i might have been dead from words of anger that you left in my head.
But i know better you see I know you can never be me.
For deep down is where the beauty lies.
Deep down i know that you are broken inside, because you pick on the week instead of picking yourself up.
Instead of you growing up you stay where you are.
I won't be defeated just because i have scars no i will stand up.
I will stand up for i grow each day.
I will stand up for i’m not afraid .
I will stand up for the meek for the poor for weary and the worn, for i know what its like, to be in there shoes to grow from the ground up, and to learn you need help, when there's no more.
You may have brought me down but i know better, and better is me.

I was raped 9 years ago and today i can truly say i am free from my past, its time to let go. Its okay to tell someone that someone is hurting you in any way.I may be 16 but 9 years ago i was 7 and i been through that bulling family issues self-esteem discrimination, so I know you can get through it.
