Up, Not Down
I look up
as my world come crashing down
I reach up
to keep from falling down
I feel up
as it all goes down
I am up
when I really should be down
I stay up
when I am expected to be down
I stand up
as I am told to stay down
I seem up
to make sure I do not look down
I am truly up
For I will not be kept down
