Stand up tall in the eyes of the world.
Don’t let your weaknesses show.
Many may try to intimidate you in life,
So don’t submit to that nefarious goal.
Of all aspects of life, liberty is sacred.
It’s your human right to try new things,
Without being shunned by others.
So go free in the world and make it happen.
There are obstacles that no one can avoid.
Some have ways of alleviating the pain, but
Most are left to rot.
It’s up to you to make that change,
And be one of the few to rise
Out of the chains.
