Chin Up
There comes a point,
In every humans life,
When you grow weary,
Of always being nice.
No matter what you do,
They jeer and they jibe,
Creating a dark aura,
Shining out a bitter vibe.
If "What doesn't kill you
Makes you stronger"
Why do I feel weak,
Stumble as I saunter?
.
Still I walk with my chin up,
Armor and sword in stride.
Ready to battle miscrients,
Attempting to break my pride!
