with the world crushing down on you
stand fast
when the wind rushes against you
stand strong
when your heart weeps
and you feel you stand alone
rise, fist clenched, teeth grit
rise despite those who block you
rise despite that which stomps you
curse in the face of adversity
resist, rain softly the voice of defiance
raise your voice as neccesarily as you raise water to your lips
live the life you deserve
want for that which you own
yearn not for that which you don’t have
save dignity
that which cannot be taken from you
only surrenderred from the mind
stand fast
stand strong
all adversity how the mind percieves it
all love, resistance is how the soul sings it
above all
stand
