Stand Up

Time to stand up No more sitting and waiting for the blaming Don’t want to feel like I have to give up For the ones that love to do the shaming Never see the good only what wasn’t done right That’s why it is time for me to stand up and fight Fight to be seen as an adult who can make a decision Decisions that don’t need to be part of an inquisition There is much needed distance Space that is needed for me to find where exactly I am in existence Focusing on my children to be innocent and free Need to remove all the toxic drama and unnecessary debris People without demands or expectations, not changing who you are Because that will only scar Let the kids finally be who they truly are Each will be their own true star Not based on everyone else's judgement or unsupportive opinion And not to be used as your own little minion It’s time to stand up
