Don'T Let Them

Don't let them drag you down,
Get up off that ground,
Stand tall and proud,
make them all frown.

Don't let them bully you,
you can be the few,
To be the one to stand,
You can be the one with the brand,

Don't let them win the fight,
Show them that your bright,
Don't let them take your light,
That always helps you with your flight.

Don't let them take what's yours,
Because they will just give you chores,
They will chase you to the floors,
And shut you away in those drawers.

Don't let them take your pride,
You have cried,
They have seemed to have fried,
That girl that tried.

So let me tell you girl,
Heck I will even make it plural,
Keep the good memories,
Away from all of the tragedies.
