Shine On

To shine ,to shine is to stand 
tall,
no matter how deep we may 
fall.
Even when we've lost the fight,
even when their wrong were 
right.
Even though fear may stare 
you in the face,
you learn to face;face it  head 
on,
no matter how short , no 
matter how weak.
You manage to break through 
that wall,
to shine;to shine will define 
who you are.
