Stand Tall Jamie Shamah
You never think that it would be you You never imagine that you would be the one The one to fill all the reports and newspapers I mean, I never thought it would be me But soon enough that day came, and soon enough I was that person All eyes were on me. Thump, thump My heart, beating out of my chest as I get dressed My heart, screaming from within me as leave my house I never meant for this to happen I never meant to cause any of this I never meant to create something that rippled on to be much larger than me Much larger than just a little girl “ Stand TALL Ruby” “ Keep on w a l k i n g” Their words will forever ec h o in my head “Rise above Ruby” “You must fight” Click, Click My heeled shoes march up the intimidating steps My footsteps, breaking the silence in the empty halls Sent to school Sent alone Sent away Away from what I knew Away from my family Away from my home base 114 ~ Storm
