Defend

After going through my phone And finding the fight that I had With a now ex-friend My grandmother says "It's better to be nice" I said nothing But the meaning of this poem Is not silence It is not better to be nice It is better to defend yourself Please do not sit in silence Do not fear being called "Stubborn" It is a synonym For strong, Independent girl When your points are valid Stand by them When they tell you to shut up You have won Because there is absolutely Nothing else for them to say They are at a loss for words Because yours were strong enough And stronger Remember this Fight for yourself For others For what you believe in Do not let those Who are ignorant Who will never recognize They are wrong discourage you For you are a fire That will burn For centuries If it proves your point
