a small poem speaking of acceptance
I see the way you hold your head
They think that it should bend down instead
But I say, carry on

I see the way you always smile
They want you to hide it for awhile
But I say, carry on

I see the way you laugh so loud
They say that you should turn it down
But I say, carry on

I see the spring in your step
They say to walk like everyone else
But I say, carry on

I see the tangle in your mane
The one they say you should tame
But I say, carry on

I see the scars that cross your wrists
The cuts they say you should resist
But I say, battle on

I see the tear tracks on your face
The ones they say you need to erase
But I say, carry on

I see the pain inside your eyes
The thing they say that you should hide
But I say, carry on
